Day 1493 Rock and hard place.

12th September 2021

I was not happy with the veneer job I had done to the dresser top. The veneer I had used had come from Dave’s stash. This was a roll of fabric backed veneer about four foot wide by eight foot long. I had never used this type of material before, so I did a bit of research on YouTube, but there was nothing specific.

I decided to apply PVA adhesive to both surfaces. Letting both dry completely, I then used an iron to heat and press the veneer in place. This worked fine for the sample panel, but I was plagued with lots of blisters, these I tried to iron back out with limited success. That was my dilemma, should I continue and not be satisfied with the result, or tear it off and start again?
