Veneer and clear topsheet bubble elimination
Posted: Sun Nov 24, 2019 3:48 am
Hi guys, long long time lurker but first time poster. Ive done a bit of a search on this topic and it seems to be a fairly common issue regarding how to eliminate bubbles between a clear topsheet and veneer layer. I thought i would bring it up again as theres no real conclusive answer but some of the threads are quite old. So does anyone have the silver bullet for this issue? I thought i was making progress, my first boards I had the use heaps of resin approach and flood the bubbles out but I found that left me with a couple of huge bubbles on each board. I then went the opposite with just a skim of resin, I was close to perfect on one board but on another I had lots of micro bubbles in the grain structure. So I thought the natural progressions was to sand the veneer surface and use just a skim of resin, I tried that on my most recent board and I feel like Ive gone backwards. No massive bubble but the "micro" bubbles in the grain structure are more significant this time round. Does any one have any air reducing magic tricks.
