maltbyguy Posted July 28, 2014 #1 Posted July 28, 2014 Hi A bit of a cheat I know but has anyone ever used iron on veneers for the second planking ? They seem reasonably cheap thin and flexible available in all sorts of exotic woods I was thinking of cutting it into plank sized pieces Any thoughts ? Andy
AndrewNaylor Posted July 28, 2014 #2 Posted July 28, 2014 They work well on Large FLAT surfaces, but compound cures on ships hull I think you might be creating more trouble than you think I have use some on a piece of furniture I made, good but damp is a problem as the glue can break down.

Kevin Posted July 28, 2014 #3 Posted July 28, 2014 I know Doris uses veneer on her card models, is this the same stuff (knowing me the answer will be no) WackoWolf 1 Its all part of Kev's journey, bit like going to the dark side, but with the lights on All the best Kevin SAY NO TO PIRACY.

amateur Posted July 28, 2014 #4 Posted July 28, 2014 I very much doubt whether Doris uses material that has to be ironed on.... I thought she uses self-adhesive materials. Jan Kevin 1
