Overview
Our clean and simple "peel-and-stick" 1/64'' thick veneers are now available in convenient 24"x 96" sheets. The 96" lengths are ideal for tall cabinets and uppers. No messy contact cement need apply-simplycut the veneer to size with a scissors, peel off the backing and use a High Pressure J-Roller (#50014, sold separately) for the smoothest application possible. This flexible veneer comes in Ash, White Laminate, White Birch, White Oak, Cherry, Hickory, Maple, Mahogany, Red Oak and Walnut.
Features:
- Unfinished real wood (white matte is not real wood)
- Accepts stains and finishes (white matte does not accept stains)
- Permanently bonds to wood, glass, plastic and metal
- Not recommended for use on fir plywood
Refacing tips: First, apply veneer to the end panels. Once you're ready for thefaceframes, start with the stiles (vertical members). Cut veneer slightly wider thanstile (leaving an overlap), and line up edge with top of the stile. Peel off backing and press as you go. Trim off the excess veneer. Finish by using a High Pressure J-Roller for optimal adhesion. Repeat the procedure on the rails (horizontal members).

which way does the grain run for the 24 x 96 ? Is the roll 24 wide or 96?
BEST ANSWER: The grain runs the long way, the 96" measure, but you will see pieces that are anywhere from tightly grained to quite vivid with character. It is quite important to let the rolls "relax" flat for several days for the easiest working and best performance.

How do you get a straight cut? Razor? Saw? Etc... The reason I ask is because I can't imaging getting a straight cut with scissors.
BEST ANSWER: I use a metal straight edge and a razor blade knife.
Put the vaneer on top of a scrap of soft wood that is a little longer than your cut-- line the straight edge up and hold firmly and cut against the metal straight edge.
There is a special veneer hand tri saw that Rockler sells that works well if you need to trim after you apply the vaneer

Do water based stains effect the adhesive?
BEST ANSWER: I do not know about water based stains; however, i did use water based urethane. Three coats worth. It did raise the grain . Just had to sand between coats.. my guess is no problem.

Rockler veneer application instructions recommend use of high pressure J Roller for PSA application. Other instructions on site recommend use of veneer scraper. What should I use?
BEST ANSWER: Both methods work. I personally use rollers, and have never had any issues with them. I prefer the pressure I'm able to apply with a long handled roller, and less passes as compared to a small handheld veneer scraper. Others may disagree, but to get from point a to point b it has never let me down.

i want to use the Oak self-stick veneer on fir plywood floating shelves..it is not recommended for fir plywood. Can I use a sealer on the plywood before applying the veneer? I would need 3 96" rolls.
BEST ANSWER: As long as the surface off the plywood is level...no dips, dents, etc.. the surface must be smooth for any low area, ding or dent will telescope through the veneer. If there are any dings or dents in the plywood, you need to fill with wood filler and sand level before applying veneer. Even though this is self stick veneer, use contact cement on the plywood surface. To be even sure coat the plywood with a clear finish,(shellac/sanding sealer) let it dry, lightly sand, then add the cement. This way you will have 100% chance of success. Chances of the glue failing when or if you are going to use a water base finish, are reduced significantly.

I want use the 96 inch long roll to refinish the top of a cedar chest. It has a 2 inch radius along the front edge. Will this veneer work for that application?
BEST ANSWER: I believe it may be possible, but difficult to get a long-lasting and professional look. The grain would have to run perpendicular to the radius for any chance. If there is no trim piece to secure that front edge, it will be a vulnerable point for peel-back and/or chipping. This is on the border. If it were less than 2", I would say do not even try it. Doing the ends, where it is probably end-grain, can certainly be done, but it will look a bit weird, in my mind. Good luck with it, whatever you do.

is 14258 wood and is it stainable?
BEST ANSWER: Yes it's wood and stainable. It's really thin. I wouldn't use a power sander on it. (Hand sanding with 320 worked well for me) Works really well for cabinet refinishing. I replaced a side that was printed plastic with this. Turned out well.

Can the pressure sensitive veneer be used on the end of kitchen cabinet which has is not wood. The cabinet has that "Fake" wood that I believe is like a contact paper that the cabinet comes with if real wood surfaces are not originally installed on the cabinet. If so does anything have to be done to cabinet end before applying?
BEST ANSWER: I had good results applying the veneer directly over the existing contact paper on my cabinets. The veneer is thick so account for that a bit; it may almost make your end flush. If you can remove the contact paper your results will be better but if it's not coming off you should be fine. Sand the surface well and apply mineral spirits to clean out any excess debris. I had the easiest time starting from the top and applying a couple of inches then pulling the backing off a little at a time. Be sure to have a strong but flexible, plastic, flat edge to smooth things out.

My dad cut holes in the top of a rolltop desk for his stereo and turntable back in the 50's. I am restoring this desk. My plan is to use plywood to fill the two large holes then fill in any cracks and sand, etc. As a final step I want to put a veneer of the whole top, then sand the edge to blend in with the front curve of the desk top. My concern is whether or not with this pressure sensitive veneer there might be a line showing where the adhesive is. Will there be a line? Thanks for your help!
BEST ANSWER: It depends on whether you are covering the entire top or only part of it. If you are going to do the entire top, as long as you are able to put the veneer as tight to the edges and sand in my experience it just looks like a false top. I recently completed two cabinets and finished them with the pressure sensitive veneer and it did not show a glue line but the 1/64" thickness did create a line at the edges. In my case, it was what I was trying for as I had an additional roundover on all edges of the top.

I am refinishing an old Singer sewing machine which the local saw mill tells me is quarter sawn white oak. I am able to refinish the drawers, and side panels but not the top flat surfaces or curved back. I want to match the sides but am concerned about one of the reviews which indicates the veneer he received was more of a straight grained type. "Very little flecking. Comments please!!!!???

I am applying walnut veneer over new birch plywood. Is the adhesion better over untreated plywood or is it better to seal the plywood with Enduro-Var, water based urethane?
BEST ANSWER: I would certainly seal it for general moisture control . One coat on the other side and two coats, with a light sand between on the veneer side, to get the smoothest and best surface for adhesion. Good luck with the project.

We had a new linoleum floor installed in our camper. When the gentleman caulked the joints, he used the painter's blue tape so he wouldn't get on the cabinets. Well, when he pulled the blue tape off, it took off the top layer of the veneer throughout the places he installed the linoleum. Do you think this would be appropriate to patch the bottom of the cabinets? What a mess!
BEST ANSWER: It would work, but my concern would the the thickness of the veneer he pulled off. This stuff is real wood veneer and is not just a paper veneer. I measure about 3/64 thick. So if that matches what was removed it would work.

Kitchen cabinet repair.
Bought this to fix a problem with the contact paper sides of my kitchen cabinets.
Stripped the the contact paper off with a heat gun, sanded, sanding sealer then installed the veneer.
The product installed easier than I expected, you have to be careful but if you take your time it will look great.
Now the cabinets have solid red oak frames and the red oak sides to match.
I will use this again.

You can't tell it is not the original surface. Sands and stains like a charm. Just recieved my 2nd 24x96 sheet for a early 1900's federal style double dresser.
