Keep your veneer edges tight while inside the press with Gummed Veneer Tape! Includes a 198metre long roll of white 34 gram cellulose tape that measures 19mm wide.
Apply it to your joint, then as it dries, it shrinks. This shrinking action helps to hold the seam together while in the press.
Perforated with a three hole pattern for ease of use, and it lets you see the seam under the tape which allows for adjusting/tightening of the seam before the tape dries.
The paper tape is a water based, gummed tape. After your face is glued to the substrate, remove the tape. Use a damp sponge to dampen the tape. Give it some time for the dampness to soak into the tape. The glue will loosen and you can scrape and sand the tape off.
Note: Be sure to get the glue residue out of the wood pores. Use a damp sponge for this. Also, sand the surface where the tape came off. The mistake that most people make is to use too fine of a grit for sanding.
