Re: [VAL] veneers



Hi all,
I've veneered several areas on my Trade Wind and only one area is giving me
fits. The mahogany veneer had a sealed thin backing to it and I used the
contact cement as you would with formica. The area that is coming loose is
the area just inside the entry door. Probably because this side of the
trailer faces the west and the walls get pretty hot in the summer. I was
just speaking with a friend in construction today about using a door skin
instead of a veneer. Also he mentioned using PL-500 for an adhesive, which
I've never heard of. I'll have to get this done before its rally time this
spring.
