Thread: Iron on edge veneer for ply, teardrop c'van?

I see you are in PA. Send me a sample of the wood and 1 will try to match it for you. I have a few 1,000 's feet of it left over from the cabinet shop.
You can have some for the cost of shipping.
Regards
Joe

Hi Joe, and thanks for your reply. It's very generous of you to offer to help, but I'm actually near Port Lincoln, in South Australia, and I think you are in the U.S. Thanks anyway, kind regards, Jim.

We bought a few sheets of hardwood veneered for vanity and laundry door and drawer fronts from a local panel wholesaler about 20 years ago. We were also able to buy matching iron on timber veneer from them at the time of purchase, abt .5 to .6 mm thick from memory. Was applied with an iron and is still holding well now, but hasn't been exposed to knocks and bumps like something on the road might be. If you haven't bought the material yet, trying to get the edging with the material should work.

Alternatively, consider a thicker edging cut from matching timber and glued in place for a more durable edge.

Hi Malb, I rang a couple of cabinet shops in my area yesterday and managed to find some iron on edge banding, it's hoop pine too, same as the ply. The next build will have stitch and glue cabinets, no ply, just the real stuff. With doors and drawers closed, most of the edges that have the tape will be out of view anyway. It'll do the job, this time. Thanks, Jim.
