1.HOW TO STORE DYED VENEER AND RESCONSTITUTED VENEER?
Storage
Both natural dyed veneer and reconstituted veneer are made of wood and its moisture content may therefore be subject to variation depending on the storage and work environment. It is therefore advisable to maintain humidity in the range between 40% and 70% (RH) and a reference ambient temperature of 20°C.
Warnings
Avoid—even temporarily—any contact with water and other liquids. Avoid any moisture condensation on product surface. The product must be stored on a flat surface at least 200 mm above the ground. Wood veneer must be protected from direct and indirect light.
2. APPLICATION WITH GLUE
Veneer Hub natural dyed veneer and veneer can be glued on all wood supports using urea or hot melt glues. Different kinds of support must be tested and assessed on a case-by- case basis.
3. HOW TO SAND DYED VENEER PLYWOOD OR RECONSTITUTED VENEER PLYWOOD? After the veneering process, our wood veneer must be sanded in order to prepare and clean the surface for the varnish application. This process must be carried out with 120-150- 180 grit sandpaper in a single step or in sequence using manual or automatic sanding machines. The use of 100 grit or 220/240 grit sandpaper is advised only for special decorative effects.
4. HOW TO POLISH DYED VENEER PLYOOD OR RECONSTITUTED VENEER PLYWOOD?
Like all other types of wood veneer, the varnishing process must be performed with a suitable product capable of protecting and preserving the wood as much as possible from chemical and physical deterioration (photo-degradation, thermal decay, etc.) as well as from mechanical degradation (scratches, dents, etc.).
Dyed veneer and reconstituted veneer can be varnished with any product or method recommended for wood treatments. However, the best results are achieved by selecting, among the various classes of products, those with the following characteristics: —High wetting power—High yellowing retardation power—High UV protection. As for water paints, it is advisable to use products that are stable at a moderately acid pH(4-6), such as specific products for acid hardwoods.
All wood veneers, both natural wood veneer, natural dyed veneer, or reconstituted veneer, are subject to color change over time due to exposure to ultraviolet light (UV), fading, environment, or aging of the wood. We suggest everyone use a non-yellowing finish containing UV inhibitors to slow and limit such fading.
