1)
Prepare your
surface as needed.
2)
If your piece has
veneer tape on one side, that is the side that faces up↑. The raw side is
glued down.
3)
Use a water-based
wood glue (like Titebond III®) that
will dry water resistant. NEVER USE
CONTACT CEMENT.
4)
Spread a light
layer of glue on your surface; do not over glue where the glue seeps up the
sides of your piece.
5)
Place wax paper
on top of your piece and cover with a flat surface like plywood. Place a weight
on top. DO NOT CLAMP.
6)
When dry (minimum
24 hours), lightly dampen with cloth or sponge a section at a time. DO NOT
SOAK. Scrape the veneer tape back with a Carpenter’s square razor. Never use a
palm sander or power tools.
7)
Be patient. Scrape
all of the paper tape off with this method and allow to dry.
8)
When your piece
is completely dry, use a fine grit sand paper (320) and sand to your
satisfaction. Please be careful not to sand through your marquetry.
9)
You are now ready
for your final finish.
