radrobgray Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 im bending a drop top over a arm-contour and to avoid crackin someone suggested veneer softener (i had previouse problems wiht this on a 1/8" piece of brizillian cherry). would i work on a 1/4" maple top? any expereince? i thought id ask because well 1/4" is way thicker than veneers.

Drak Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 You shouldn't even be trying to bend 1/4" Maple, you're just asking for big problems right from the start. If it works at all, I'll be amazed. And no, veneer softener won't help you, it's for a different application alltogether. Personally, I would abort the idea of bending 1/4" Maple alltogether and figure out something else to do instead. Maybe have your top sanded to 1/8" for starters.
