Dos

• Always laminate flat to black side before forming and attaching to framework.

• Use a vertical grade high-pressure laminate face. A horizontal grade HPL can be used provided it will bend to the desired radius.

• Use a phenolic back veneer or tow ply veneer (back veneer of two ply at 90º) as face material.

• Use a test strip to determine the correct amount of adhesive and laminating pressure necessary to achieve a smooth radius.

Don'ts

• Do not use a paperback veneer or single ply veneer as face.

• Do not attach Kerfkore to framework and then laminate face.

• Never bend Kerfkore or try to bend beyond the natural stopping point when making an outside radius.

• Do not use rigid setting glues such as epoxy or urea when attaching face to black paper. Use of contact is preferred.

• Avoid allowing face material to end on a radius (especially horizontal grade laminates and similarly rigid materials).

• Do not use flammable adhesives on Ultralite as they may dissolve foam core material.
