In order to update some details of the interior, it is not always necessary to spend big money, it is enough to just attach a veneer. This applies, above all, the shelves, door openings In the form of arches, eaves and many other. At the same time, it is important not only to choose the right-quality finishing material correctly, but also the glue composition. Next, consider how the glue should be glued, and how to do it right at home.

Preparatory work

First of all, it should be noted that the interior items to which the veneer will be glued must be made of chipboard, plywood or furniture boards (mainly of the tree). Their surface should not be fat, have resin spots, swirls, cracks or chips. Available defects need to sharpen with a putty on a tree, after which it is carefully polished. Before spitting, it is necessary to remove the swirls and, if necessary, create a rough surface for better gluing, which can be easily done with a special planer with small teeth.

What to do with a veneer?

After preparing the foundation, you can proceed to the preparation of the veneer itself (see video). So, it is necessary to all unpack it and select sheets, pictures on which are similar. It is needed in order to ready product It turned out as much natural as possible. After making markup, the sheets are cut. At home, this can be done with a sharp knife and ruler. When working with a veneer, you need to know that it can be simple and figured. Lists are considered simple, fibers on which are located in parallel, and those with the help of which you can get various interesting figures.

Methods of sticking

The basis for which sheets will be glued, be sure to degrease, after which it is covered with glue for sticking veneer. The most popular method of gluing sheets is the prompt. The glue for it is done thick, but applied hot. It is necessary to ensure that it is drying on the basis, because in a different case, the adhesive solution can perform on the surface, especially if the veneer is very thin. After the contact adhesive for veneer began to capture the time to pull the sheets. It is done using a special bonding hammer that is constantly moving towards the fibers.

The gradation process begins in the middle of the sheet, gradually moving heated to 85 ° C tool to the edges, while removing the excess glue. Shpon during work is desirable to wet warm water. Do this in order for the adhesive solution to dry too fast. If it happened so that not the entire base was covered with a glue for a veneer, bubbles may form, to eliminate which they will have to cut the sheet with a blade and introduce a small amount of adhesive composition under it. After that, the veneer is again processed by a tidy hammer or warm iron. Thus, it is easy to glue a veneer at home.

What glue is better?

Among the variety of adhesive solutions is very easy to get confused. What glue is better to glue a veneer on the fane or other similar material (see photo). Very often, when gluing the sheets, the usual PVA glue is used. But it is suitable only for smooth surfaces. More complex elements can be done only with more reliable compositions, for example, adhesive solution For wooden surfaces Tiebond. But it is worth noting that it costs not so little. In addition to the above compositions, the veneer can also be glued with polyurethane, epoxy, as well as soluble meter or liquid metering glue.

Grinding the base for veneer is best to start a finely dispersed construction skirt, and to finish with a silence.

The color of the sheets of veneer must be selected so that they are harmoniously combined with wallpaper, furniture, etc.

Very interesting, patterns left from sheets that are made of various tree breeds are obtained.

With a cold staining method, the sheet coating at home is more monophonic and stable.

After staining the veneer it is necessary to rinse under flowing water, then dried in a warm place, but away from direct sunlight.

Veneer is sheets or tapes of wood with a thickness of up to 10-12 mm. Printed on furniture from cheap material, they improve the appearance of the product and give it additional strength. Facing the parts of the veneer or gluing it is called a trowel. Sometimes those who are interested in how to glue veneer at home, call this process by "veneering", but there are no such words in explanatory dictionaries.

History of creating and applying veneer

Another ancient Egyptians made veneer by transverse cutting of the tree trunk. The mass use of the veneer began when the longing machine was invented, allowing to separate thin plates from the tree. The improved discharge method was applied in Germany by Flek. This method is used in our day.

Both in antiquity and today, the veneer is used mainly as finishing material For facing doors, furniture and walls. In practice, the use of veneer solves the environmental problem of forest conservation, as it reduces the consumption of wood in the production of furniture.

On an industrial scale, the machines are used not only for the production of veneer, but also for pherling. The most common is a hydraulic press to glue a veneer on the chipboard. The use of such complex equipment is necessary for greater performance. Compressive press efforts do not play a significant role in industrial veneer technology, as they can damage the stuffed material.

Fining the surface with a veneer can even if there is no special machine. Before you learn how to glue veneer at home, you need to choose suitable material. To do this, it is important to know which types of veneer are produced and what they differ from each other.

Types of veneer

This material is classified depending on the methods of obtaining and staining.

• Lush veneer. It is made by rotating logs and cut with a thin tape from them. Saw luxury machine Cuts wood parallel to fibers. Lutching cracked logs of alder, pine, birch, oak.
  
• Sawn veneer. It is made from coniferous rocks (fir, siberian cedar). Ready material - reduction to 12 mm thick. Mainly used for manufacture musical instrumentsbut finds use and in furniture manufacturing. This is the most valuable type of veneer.
  
• Planed veneer. It is made only from solid wood (oak, mahogany). From the other types of veneer, it is characterized by cutting a layer of wood. First, the barrel is poured on the bars. Then the layers are cut perpendicular to the length of the fibers.
  
• Fine Line. To give a lush veneer texture natural woodHis sheets sort, painted, glue and pressed. Then the obtained bars are re-cutting, obtaining sheets of planed shock veneer, imitating valuable breeds Tree. Funeraling Fine Line, like lamination, helps to create beautiful chipboard textures under a tree.
  

The first three of the described types of materials are a natural veneer that is used in both painted and non-repent. Final Line is reconstructed, unnatural material. For home use is mainly inexpensive: Lush veneer or Fine Line.

How can I apply veneer at home

Work with a veneer at home is a more time-consuming occupation than gluing a plastic edge or paper-tape self-keys. But the use of veneer instead of plastic trimming increases the use of furniture from LDSP.

Both in industry and in household, the main use of veneer is the facing of furniture and doors. Fanition can be used in the event that if the headsets are still in good condition, but lost its appearance due to scratches. Knowing all the subtleties of technology, how to glue veneer on the furniture, you can not only give it an updated look, but also to turn your things into exclusive presentable models, a la headset from the array.

In addition, if you wish to refresh the interior, you can fan wall panels. The texture of the walls lined with veneer mimics the trim of a bar or clapboard made of natural wood.

If you do not have experience with a veneer, start with small surfaces, for example, chipboard, shelves, decorative elements. After you feel confidence in the movements, you can begin the trowel of furniture or walls.

Fanwriting veneer at home has its difficulty:

• Positioning veneer sheets on the product. In order for the drawing beautifully looking, it is necessary to choose sheets with a similar (or vice versa, contrasting) pattern.
• Docking. The sheets of veneer, absorbing moisture from the adhesive, are expanding, and then stripped, decrease in size. Therefore, after gluing between sheets, slots may form. So that this does not occur, apply oblique cutting of the edges, the wrapping of the mustache or the pre-connection of the sheets with a special tape.
• "Chii" or air bubbles between the veneer and the basis.

It is possible to completely avoid such flaws as uneven joints and layers of air, it is possible only if you acquire a certain snorkeeper on the trowel.

Before glued veneer, you need to pick up suitable glue. Its choice largely depends on the methods of trowel. Nevertheless, it is necessary to take into account general rules. So, if the glue is not viscous enough, it can be leaked to the front side through the porous surface of the veneer. Therefore, too liquid glue is not suitable.

Many are interested in how to glue natural veneerobtained from wood species with a high content of tanning substances, and it is no coincidence. In the presence of iron compounds (from which the press) of the tannins are painted veneer, reacting with glue, if its acidity is below 5.5.

To prevent the undesirable reaction of glue and metal, put gaskets from paper or foil, or use glue with neutral or alkaline reaction.

For the trough, the following types of glue can be used: the usual PVA, protein species (ammastric, bone, casein), special branded adhesives for wood.

Methods of gluing veneer

Depending on the magnitude of the products, the presence of curvilinear surfaces, as well as from the skills and equipment, one of the three pherling methods can be used:

• Contact cold method. Contact adhesive for veneer has a short exposure time and grasp. Therefore, the pherling of large surfaces is difficult for such glue. If you inaccurately put a veneer to the base, it is impossible to correct the position and the type of product will be spoiled. For high-quality gluing, the initial compression force is important, and the duration of effort is not required. This is the most difficult method of gluing, but its advantage is that it is not necessary to use conductors for pressing.
• Cold gluing with subsequent pressing. After applying the glue, the surface is connected, aligned and fixed by clamp. The most common for this method is the adhesive for the Titebond tree. It has a short time setting and pressing, as well as a wide range (depending on the class of moisture resistance, plasticity, resistance to temperatures or purpose to different colors of the material).
• Hot fanagement. The glued glue layer must dry (or dry) on the glued surfaces. Then the veneer is applied to the product and straighten with a hot iron or a triwort hammer. High tool temperature melts glue, and it connects the veneer with the base.

The first two methods are used mainly for small surfaces. In this case, it is not necessary to apply special surface treatment, unlike the third method. Therefore, most issues in beginners arise about how to glue veneer on MDF, Phaneur, chipboard or similar surface by hot pressing. Check out the sequence of actions:

1. Preparation of the surface. If it is an old product, dismantle the fittings, decorative elements. Remove the former coating with a spatula, preheated with its iron. Align the surface using a putty for wood, and after drying it - sandpaper.
2. Preparation of material. If the sheets of veneer were twisted into the roll, they must be straightened. For quick straightening - moisten sheets with a sponge. Then, for absorption moisture, put the paper, and from above - the cargo, for example, a sheet of plywood, chipboard or MDF.
3. Cutting material. Veneer sheets connect to set of the desired sizebut first pick up the picture on facial side. Carefully dock sheets and connect adhesive ribbon At the junction, as well as perpendicular to him. The connected set should be more than 7-10 cm surface.
4. Applying glue. Before gluing veneer on the fane or MDF, you must evenly apply glue on both surfaces. The layer of glue, applied to the veneer, must dry during the day. Packages set free to press them with a load, which will prevent twisting and bursting veneer during drying. Apply the glue on the basis directly before gluing. Glue based on it is also necessary to dry up to a viscous state.
5. Trigger. This process is carried out along a veneer fiber. For wipes, use a special hammer or iron. Thoroughly straighten the veneer to remove air bubbles between it and the base.

The final processing consists in pruning spaces and light grinding. You can use the product in a day.

People wishing to update the furniture, but not having to buy new products, it is worth paying attention to the veneer. It is wood sheets that happen different thickness and colors. Veneer is glued to K. old furnitureWhat improves its appearance. Such a finish will continue to securely protect items from damage, so many are interested in the question, how to glue veneer on the basis. At home, this is quite possible.

How to glue veneer: Description of the main types of material

How to glue veneer right?

There are still root sections of trees, of which nothing can be created on furniture production. However, they are still used due to an unusual picture.

What glue glue veneer?

To work with fine wood it is better to use the contact glue. It provides a solid clutch of surfaces. You can still try another type of glue.

• PVA. Suitable for gluing smooth details when it is done in the arter with a hot iron.
• Titebond. It is considered a professional moisture resistant solution and is suitable for working with more complex elements.
• Epoxy resin. Also used for the adhesion of thin wood with plywood and fiberboard, but not all.

Remember that veneer is a porous material, so lubricate it only with thick glue, which contains water-based solvents.

How to glue veneer at home?

The sticking of the veneer is also called the trowel. Following the procedure, follow the rules:

1. Prepare surfaces for gluing so that they are in a purest state and were smooth.
2. Inspect the veneer. If he has a layer of glue under protective film, Remove it and go through this place the iron.
3. In the absence of an adhesive layer, apply it, and when everything gets dry, stick the tree strip to the base.
4. How to glue veneer iron? Do it, smoothly directing the device along the direction of wood fibers.
5. Then be sure to handle the veneer varnish to protect it from external influences.

The furniture maker is extremely rarely possible to do with one sheet or a strip - more often you have to keep the glued veneer fragments among themselves. This should also learn.
At home, the docking of the veneer occurs at all as in production. In the second case, the docking is performed even before sticking the veneer on the furniture base, that is, the cut and high-quality fitted sheets of the veneer are combined with each other in a solid web using adhesive paper tape superimposed on the seams. It is clear that if in the process of the facing, you try to glue a veneer sheets in advance, then paper tape., Moistening with the wetting of the veneer, will go back, and the seams will disperse. And how do you imagine gluing a big sheets of veneer in an apartment? We will have to learn to stick the sheets of the veneer separately, one by one - leading a sizing from the middle of the treated surface to its edges. By the way, remember that the glue is not immediately on the entire surface, but only the place where the leaf fragment will be glued.
The most difficult thing in this work is that, being moistened, veneer, firstly, twists, secondly, expands across the fibers. As a result, after the completion of the next sheet, the fold was certainly formed, as a result of the extension of the veneer, after the parallel stool fibers. And if it is again to last this place, shifting the entire sheet, then after drying, when the veneer is slightly urgent, the seam will disappear and your job will go to the pump.

How to avoid this?

The next sheet of veneer is put up close to the previous one, but with some overlap on it. And already when the veneer has expanded, it is necessary to cut the backstage through both sheets - a sharp knife along a tight pressed line. Then carefully remove the cut-off strips of the veneer-with the help of a knife or chisel, slightly flexing the edge of the second sheet and again having squeezed the joint of the heated iron (as well as if necessary, entering the edge of the second sheet of the second leaf). So that in the process of drying the seam did not diverge, it is placed on it (the same glue) paper strip 2-2.5 cm wide. After drying it, it can be written.
It is possible to do without the allen in the event that the butt is perpendicular to the fibers (or undergoes a slam angle towards the fibers). True, then it will be necessary to even more carefully adjust the edges of the stuck sheets, and sometimes it is to cut the edges of the already glued sheet again, pulling the new sheet with the previous paper strip, so that the joint is not damaged during the tick.
You can glue, but then on the seams first you need to stick paper strips, and only then, lining the edges, sticking the veneer strips, respectively, the direction of the fibers.
Now glue with a veneer facial crying and anterior edge. You can decide yourself, gluitively glue the crying or edge. It will depend on whether you want to make an invisible edge edge on the edge or edge of the veneer. Of course, it is better to start from the lining layer of the edge, then you can go to the plase and then go to the lining of the edge layer. And before, I remind, you should carefully prepare the surfaces to the facing, pickup and cutting the veneer. Namely chopped blanks and places of sticking, we mark the lines of the joints. Heat in the glue glue, take a brush for applying glue, iron for wipes (not electric, and heated on fire), rag and paper strips for squeezing seams. Pluging the furniture element in the vice edge up, we apply to the edge of the glue and rub with an iron prepared veneer strip. By gluing the strip, gently clean it with the edge with a file - so that they do not be behind the edges of the edge. All, you can proceed to facing places.
First glue veneer sheet on one side from the stitching line planted on the plastic - make sure that there is no breakdown. Then (with the overtht) glue the second sheet, cutting the nest, remove the trimming of the veneer, put the joint and sink the seam with a paper strip. Since the sheets of veneer we cut with letters, as a result, moisturizing, they are somewhat expanding across the fibers and slightly perform behind the plates. Consequently, they need to cut immediately. To do this, turn the element with a lined look down and along each edge, we cut the sticking veneer with a sharp knife. It remains to clean the edge with a file.
We again set the furniture element vertically. For finish finish Edges first glued middle lane, then - side. The main thing is to prevent the veneer break in the process, because facial layer Fibers are directed perpendicular to the edge. Waiting for the glue to finally dry, clean the edges of the facing on the edge and the damp cloth we remove the paper stripes and from the edge, and from the plastic.
