iskim86 Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 why is this happening? I try not to let the veneer roll up too much before adding pressure, and apply glue to both the veneer and the body, and it cracks at the edges. am I not giving enough spare veneer at the edges?? thanks........

Acousticraft Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 How thick is the veneer and is it a flat surface its going on to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cherokee6 Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 My first inclination was that you were doing it to a curved body. Was it properly clamped with even pressure along the whole body? Do you have any pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any pics? yup, but as for curved, the body already had the edge curves, not a new body with sharp edges and stuff. sorry, no pics.
