In Response To: Strip: veneer (victor druten)

: Want to put a small veneer on the hull. It's a design I cut out of
: Bloodwood 3" x 5". Have never laminated a veener on
: anything. It's pretty fragile. Can I put wood (Triton)glue on
: the back....press down with sandbags...lightly sand...then
: fiberglass? Any DO's and DON'T's I should know before I mess up
: my cedar hull?
I've put on several veneers and use slightly thickened epoxy, then pressed them on (wiping away any squeeze-out first) with Saran wrap. I do also use sand bags to maintain constant pressure while the epoxy sets
