Did you use glue to fix veneer? If so, what glue?

Hi Orava, these Penta's are not mine, I just saw the add. So I cannot tell how the veneer was bonded.

I would not be surprised if they are made by Leslie (old forummember). Maybe you can find him on another medium?

Regards, Johan

Ah, hi. Actually I ment Leo's speakers. :)

I guess Leo will be a bit offended by your question 😕

Look closely at the pictures - looks like solid wood all the way through - not just veneer glued on.

Well, I have never seen BL4000 in the flesh, but somehow covering must stick on the body of speaker. Right?

There is three sheets of veneer glued together with wood glue. Then that three layer sheet is glued with woood glue that binds to wood and plastic to the speaker itself (polyurethane I think)

No offense taken. 😁

Ok, thank you. I have had little problems when glueing veneer to metal. Last time I use bostic A3 to (wet)glue veneer to plastic.
