Wood-All Red Oak Wood Veneer Sheet, Plain Sliced/Flat Cut, 24x96, "A" Grade, 10 mil Peel and Stick PSA Backer

High quality veneer. Very smooth. Easy to cut and great grip. I used it to repair stair risers that were damaged during floor refinishing. I did find that the slick adhesive cover film was harder to peel off along the slightly rough cross-grain factory edges than the ones I had cut--the adhesive wanted to peel off with the film along those cuts, but once I got the film started, it came off easily. I initially received the wrong product, with only a paper backer, not the peel-and-stick PSA, but customer service was prompt and I had the correct veneer a few days later. I suggest checking before you remove it from the box--the 3M logo was very clear on the right one. The paper backer was a dark brown matte color instead. Re-rolling the veneer to fit in the box is a two-person task! I unrolled my veneer and weighed both ends down for 2 days, and it was reasonably flat, with just enough curl to make installation a little easier than if it were completely flat. It is possible to reposition after you get some adhesive stuck, but the initial grip is pretty strong, so don't count on that. Once rolled with a J-roller, it was very solid--no hollow sound when tapping. Much easier than attempting contact cement with a paper-backed veneer.

I'm not a carpenter but I'm very happy with the results. The product was easy to work with. Be aware, you may not get a second chance at applying the veneer, it got good glue on it!

I like this veneer for the most part. I added this veneer to a dresser’s drawer fronts. It was very easy to put on and cut with a utility knife. They stain very well and they look great. I have noticed a little bubbling where the veneer hasn’t adhered properly.

We had an old kitchen table that had to be covered with a table cloth because the veneer was broken and coming off. I was able to remove it, sand the top and apply two coats of poly to prepare the surface. The new veneer was simple and easy to apply. I used a pair of scissors to cut the excess around the table. I then used a 1x6 board about 18 inches long to apply pressure over the surface to insure a good adherence to the surface. A router was used to trim the edges. I finished with sanding and two coats of polyurethane. It's beautiful and no longer needs to be covered. I would definitely recommend this product and will use it again for future projects.

Would have been difficult to use for my application. Might be ok for a tabletop, but not for steps. Used 1/4 inch oak veneered plywood instead. Glued the plywood to the pine stair risers. Turned out great.

Excellent product. I have used this product twice to face cabs. Works well and takes stains and paint very well. The 3M sticker back is top notch. After 15 years the cabs look brand new.

Mixed bag here. The pre-applied adhesive sucks. The veneer is great. Nice quality red oak that perfectly matched the solid red oak boards I used adjacent to it. The peel-and-stick adhesive really really sucks though. It does not hold. And so the only option is to remove it and use contact cement instead. I wouldnt buy this again because the adhesive is very difficult to remove from the veneer without damaging the veneer. It took a heat gun and some wood and plastic scrapers. This would be such a better product if it was just the veneer without the 3M garbage adhesive on the back. Or alternatively if it was iron-on that would have been better too.

Got it for my dad and it worked out perfectly.
