Veneer edging
|
 |
|
|
||
| Consolidated Veneers' veneer edge strip is already pre-coated with a hotmelt adhesive. Using a normal domestic iron the adhesive is re-activated for an immediate bond to timber, chipboard, MDF or other laminated boards. |
SUGGESTED APPLICATIONS
Renovation of old furniture and cabinets
Please note that veneer edging cannot be applied successfully to metal, glass or a painted surface.

IRON-ON INSTRUCTIONS |
What you will need ...
| To prepare the surface: paint stripper, coarse sandpaper. To apply the edging: VENEER EDGING, domestic iron, file or plane, small wooden block. When renovating, completely remove any old paint, polish, varnish, grease or dust then sandpaper to a clean, smooth and even edge surface. Veneer edging can be applied directly to the cut edge of laminated boards. Please note that veneer edging cannot be applied successfully to metal, glass or a painted surface. |

Iron heat setting
 |
Set iron to the linen setting. It is essential that the temperature of the iron is high enough to bring the adhesive to a molten state, for only then will the adhesive transfer onto the surface below and make a permanent bond. |
Ironing on
| Position the veneer over the edge to be covered, allowing
a 10mm overlap at each end.
Run the iron along the strip, guiding the veneer with your other hand to position it on the edge and hold it in place. Now iron along the strip again. Work the iron back and forth in its own length for a few seconds, then slowly move forward along the edging tape, allowing sufficient time for the heat to penetrate through the veneer and melt the adhesive (recommended iron speed: 30 seconds per metre). IMPORTANT: Follow immediately behind the iron with a small wooden block applying sufficient pressure to hold the veneer in contact with the surface for several seconds while the bond is made. |
Finishing
| When the adhesive is completely cool clean off the
overhang with a plane or file at an angle of 15° to the surface.
Work towards the surface of the board so as not to pull the strip
away.
Finish off carefully using fine sandpaper wrapped around a rubbing block. |
