Tips for Installing Veneers:
Critical: Veneers should be placed flat and allowed to acclimate for 48 hours before installation.
Surface Prep: Fill in any voids on the surfaces with wood putty. Lightly sand any surfaces you plan to cover. Clean the
area and wait for the it to thoroughly dry. Do not use a power sander. Use a tack cloth to remove excess dust.
Cutting: Use a veneer/laminate slitter, rotary cutter, or sharpened utility knife/straight edge to cut the veneer. Cut the
veneer strips ½” wider and 2” longer than the area you plan to cover (stiles/rails). We recommend doing the stiles first and
then the rails. Apply the veneer strips to one opening at a time.
Adhering: Poly Back veneers are best applied with roller grade adhesives. Be sure to cover both the veneer and substrate
surface with adhesive to ensure proper adhesion and performance.
Finishing: Use a razor knife to remove the excess material and finish with a hand file or 150 grit sand block to trim the
excess material.
