Post subject: | Veneering pick guards |
I just veneered two headstocks for a customer and there is a lot of veneer left over. We've decided to apply it to pick guards so they will match. I have lots of black plastic p/g material, my idea was to cut out the guards, glue the veneer on as I did on the heads and shoot a few coats of lacquer. Question is, what kind of adhesive would be best here (I used Titebond on the heads)? (And I'll make myself a note to be sure to remove the film before I do it). Veneer is 0.020, I don't have any sort of vacuum so I'll probably be clamping between something flat - maybe 3/4 MFD |

Do you have enough veneer to lay up a few layers with epoxy and make the pick guards from that? |

Titebond always worked for me doing veneer applications. |

Does titebond adhere to plastic? What about contact cement? I'll be interested with what you decide to use. ...and how it worked. |

How about Duco or Stew mac Bind-all? Works for plastic binding... |

I would go with a contact cement like used for P-Lam counter tops. |

I’ve used Bryan’s suggestion with good results. 3-5 layers of veneer glued with veneer glue. The finished piece is durable, machinable, and somewhat flexible. |
