Ref: my July 16 post. Okay, I messed up pretty good. I got in a hurry
last
week to make some white mahogany (aka "primavera") plywood to back a china
cabinet under construction. I did not go back and re-read the posts and
follow the good suggestions offered up by this forum. No, I just slapped
some white glue on my thin stock and backing board (cheap 1/4" ply), stuck
them together without crossing the grain and weighted them down with gas
cans, cement bags - anything lying around. Surprised me, but the end
product looked pretty good. A week later, the boards were cupped and the
thin stock had split. Ruined.

So, learn from my mistake.

This weekend, I'm going to follow the forum advice - use contact cement, a
J
roller, and cross the grain. Hopefully, I will have better results.

and do both sides.

Why is that necessary?


first rule of veneering. balance forces, or it's gonna warp. if not
right away, later, but usually right away.
