I made some shop cut curly cheery veneers. I’ve matched the edges by using my shooting plane and I am ready to glue them to the substrate. I have tested my techniques when I glued the veneers to the back side. I didn’t fit the backside seams perfect, as they are on the back side and will never be seen and there is some glue bleed through at the seam as expected. But I want to make sure the show side is as good as possible. When I did the back side I experimented with veneer tape and blue painters tape to keep the glue line tight. I didn’t see any difference between the two.
I’m wondering if I could use a bit of thin CA glue in the seams to assure they stay tight? Would the ca glue just screw up the finish? Or have some weird interaction with the veneer glue? I’m using Vak bond 2000 from Quality VAKumm Products.
Any suggestions on assuring a tight seam?
