But let me tell you that this is not a right technique. It damages the veneer. Carpenters often opt for nailing technique assuming it as a short-cut method. But the truth is that it increases labor by 30%- 40%, which is still fine as compared to the damage it makes. Nailed veneer piece furniture would look untidy with unfinished edges and cracks me be seen due to nailing. Knowing it is not a right technique, many carpenters still go for nailing veneer.
Home owners need not worry for known and good carpenters as they will always opt for gluing process be it veneer or artificial laminates to substrate. Veneered glued furniture turn out to be well finished furniture that appear a clean piece of art. So do have a look for what technique is your carpenter using- nailing technique of the gluing process.
i. Once the veneer is selected of, carpenters cut veneers and substrate (plywood or MDF) in appropriate sizes.
ii. After cutting, glue is applied to both the sheets- veneer sheet and the substrate. Few pointers to remember while gluing is to use right kind of glue. Contact cement glue is best for paper backed veneers. And standard cold press or Better Bond veneer glue is perfect for veneering as it dries faster and creates a strong bonding.
iii. The glue used is allowed to be half dry on each sheets. Then the veneer sheet is carefully positioned on the substrate.
iv. Once the veneer is laid on substrate, press down the veneer with maximum pressure for stronger bonding. This can be done with suitable tool like smoothing blade. For bigger plywood sheet (especially at industrial level), vacuum press tool is used for clamping veneer to substrate. This tool applies pressure evenly across the surface which is the most important thing. For smaller pieces, one can also use clamps and weights to get good finishes veneer panel. If the pressure is not applied evenly, bubbles may form which will ruin the panel.
v. Now turn over the piece upside down and chop the excess veneer (if any) with a sharp blade. The same can be done to the substrate if needed.
