| Post subject: | Where does the Supersoft go? |
I am contemplating using Supersoft to facilitate laminating veneers for linings. There will be no prebending, i.e., no heat applied. I am concerned that the Supersoft will always be there and in some way compromise something down the road. Any thoughts? |

I heard somewhere that the wood returns to its normal state after 7 days. And I assume that process is sped up if the wood is heated (during bending for example). Other probably no better than I. Josh |

I have made many guitars with laminated sides using supersoft type product. There is no effect that lingers. how thick are your veneers? how tight is the curve, cutaway? |

The first time you turn your back to it, the Supersoft slides off the wood and crawls under your workbench. It hides there until it can escape out the door and slip across the border. Sneaky stuff for sure. |

These are 1/32" veneers. They are from a pack of dyed samples that I got decades ago, probably from Constantine's. I do not know the species of wood. I was going to form them over the inside mold for soprano ukulele. Canada or Mexico? |

Send me your address as well, Barry, and I'll see if I can get some maple syrup to reciprocate!  Alex |

Let's make sure we are all talking about the same product here! The OP has asked about Supersoft and has gotten great answers but it should be noted that the product people use most often these days is Supersoft II. Most of the above advice applies to the new product but due to stiffening environmental regulations it no longer slips across the boarder. Now it has to wait at customs for up to 48 days waiting for the paperwork to clear. |

Just under $100 to ship and clear customs for a gallon of SS to me north of the border. Not including the cost of the SS, Add another $50. Doubt I will be buying much from the U.S. till the price of oil goes up. So if you guys want to face it north... |
