VQ 2: What is paper backed veneer and why should I use it?
Paper backed veneer is exactly what the name implies. It’s a real wood veneer permanently bonded to a paper backing. The backing is generally available in a 10 and a 20 mil thickness. A 10 mil backing is best for most projects . However, a 20 mil version is available for situations where the substrate is less than perfectly flat. In this case, the extra paper thickness allows the veneer maintain a more consistent look after application. Keep in mind that the 10 and 20 mil thickness is a reference to the thickness of the paper backing, not the veneer face. Check out this link for more information.
