Wood Veneer at a Glance

Can wood veneer be bent around corners?

Yes, it will bend or conform to a radius. Use these general guidelines, but they may vary slightly depending on the wood species:

  • 10 mil Paperback Veneer is the most flexible and can bend with the direction of the grain to a 1/2" radius or about the size of a magic marker.
  • 22 mil or Bubble Free Veneer is a little stiffer. It will also bend in the same direction as the grain to a 1/2" radius.
  • 3-ply or Wood On Wood Veneer will conform to a 3/4" radius.
  • Phenolic Backed Veneer is even stiffer. It needs approximately 1-1/2" radius.

What’s the difference between the various backing materials?

Different circumstances require different types of backed veneer. We offer several choices to fit your needs:

  • 10 mil Paperbacked Veneer is the most economical. It is recommended for use with a vacuum press, hot or cold hydraulic press or ironing with wood glue.
  • 22 mil Bubble Free Veneer can be used in all the above applications as well as with contact cement for those who don’t have pressing capabilities.
  • Phenolic Backed Veneer is ideal for use over less than perfect surfaces and under circumstances when extra durability and stability are required or it will be applied over a less ridgid substrate.
  • 3-Ply Wood-On-Wood Veneer has very good durability and hiding characteristics, much the same as the phenolic, but it’s flexibility rivals that of the paper backed veneers. This makes it ideal for curved or radius work.
