In the application of manual veneer adhesive, the following points are very important:

First is the thickness of the wood veneer you are applying. If the thickness is less than 30 (30/100 mm), you can choose to use latex adhesive or glue. When it exceeds 40 pieces, latex adhesive is not easy to apply, and the strong glue will not fail.

1. Use a rubber roller to roll the latex adhesive evenly.
2. Lay the wood veneer flat on the glued surface.
3. Overlap the second piece on the first piece by about 3 mm.
4. Use a ruler or wooden board to press down on the center of the overlapping area of the two veneer pieces.
5. Use a craft knife to cut the veneer (the purpose is to make the veneer jointless).
6. Remove the cut veneer pieces from the upper and lower layers, and arrange the first and second layers of veneer smoothly. 7. Use an electric iron to iron the veneer along the wood grain, using heat to accelerate drying and prevent the veneer from debonding.

Because wood contracts when it dries, if white glue is allowed to dry naturally without heating with an electric iron, most veneers will fail.

Strong glue application:

1. First, use a straight ruler or wooden board to cut the bonding surface, because once strong glue sticks, it cannot be pulled apart, so it cannot be used like latex adhesive.
2. Both the wooden board and the veneer need to have a layer of glue applied. The scraper can be made of melamine board, acrylic board, or wooden board.
3. Wait until both sides are completely dry – they must be completely dry. When touched by hand, they will not stick to each other; if there is liquid, they cannot stick.
4. After laying, take a wooden board and scrape along the wood grain to press the glue down, increasing the adhesion.

Whether using latex adhesive or strong glue, after applying the veneer, use a craft knife to trim off excess veneer.

Apply evenly on both the MDF and the veneer, and let dry until it feels slightly sticky to the touch. When applying, two people should cooperate: one person holds the other end of the veneer, and the other person uses a rubber scraper to smooth it along the line. After pasting, add newspaper and press down tightly with a soft (I use a whole unopened bag of cement) for one day. Pay attention to environmental cleanliness during application to prevent sand, wood chips, and other impurities from sticking inside, which would cause small raised particles on the surface of the applied veneer.

Using strong glue for veneer application may work, but it will bubble. Currently, the Motian manual wood veneer adhesive available on the market is a good choice: Motian manual wood veneer adhesive is a high solid content, single-component, special water-based polyvinyl acetate adhesive. Compared with using strong glue for manual veneer application, it has excellent characteristics such as fast drying (heating with an electric iron for 3-10 seconds), good solvent resistance (no bubbling after painting), easy glue application on large-area laminating, less glue per unit area, good heat resistance, high final strength, and environmental friendliness.

It is mainly used for manual veneer application on convex curved surfaces, manual veneer edge banding, veneer repair, and other products suitable for heating with an electric iron. It is particularly suitable for veneer application on furniture with curved designs, solving the problem of paint blistering. This will greatly change furniture design.

Help you solve veneer application problems.

1. Fast drying, heat for 3-10 seconds.
2. Better solvent resistance than strong glue, no bubbling after painting.
3. Good heat resistance, adaptable to various climates.
4. Environmentally friendly.
5. High final strength, capable of manually applying 0.6mm thick hard wood veneer.
6. Less glue per unit area, overall cost lower than strong glue.
7. Has unique reversibility. Even after the glue dries, it can still be heated and ironed with an iron. Even if an inexperienced employee operates improperly and does not stick firmly, they can still补救.

Note: If the wood is sealed with paint, fully sand it before using this product.

A. Double-sided gluing:

1. Use a short-haired roller for double-sided gluing, ensuring even glue application. An application amount of 80-100 g/m² is ideal.
2. Apply glue first to the side that is not easy to absorb water (e.g., when applying veneer to MDF, apply glue to the veneer first; when applying veneer to solid wood, apply glue to the solid wood first). At 25°C, let it sit for 1-3 minutes (depending on the amount of glue applied). Touch with your hand; it should feel slightly sticky, but the glue should not transfer to your hand.
3. Heat with an electric iron for 3-10 seconds (temperature about 150-170°C). The heating time for the edges of the panel needs to be slightly longer. After pasting, check for bubbles or areas not firmly bonded. If found, iron again with the electric iron. Apply paint after 24 hours.
4. When the workplace temperature is below 13°C, close the bond immediately after gluing.

B. Single-sided gluing:

1. Use a short-haired roller for single-sided gluing, applying glue evenly. The application amount is 150-180 g/m². At 25°C, cover with the veneer within 45 seconds, depending on the amount of glue applied.
2. Heat with an electric iron for 10-30 seconds at about 150-170°C.
3. After pasting, check for bubbles or areas not firmly bonded. If found, iron again with the electric iron. Apply paint after 24 hours.
