Hi I'm new to this site but have a question;
I have recently bought some beautiful walnut burl veneer ( 0.6mm thick) and am using cold press method and "Tightbond professional strength veneer adhesive" The problem I am having when doing test runs is after the adhesive has cured and I take clamps etc off the burl is wavy and has bubbles between the burl and sub strata - any idea why this is happening? I am putting plenty of glue down and have also tried with less glue but no joy..!
Secondly the burl in its natural state is quite wavy..when it is glued down will the dimensions increase or stay the same ( length and breadth not thickness) ?
Cheers
Ant
