Paper Veneers

[Barry13]

1. What type of paper is used for paper veneers?
2. What thickness is used?
3. Where are they for sale? Atlas had nothing and Prather has black at .005" thick.
4. Are other colors available other than black?

Thank you for your input.

I could be wrong but I think some people use like heavy duty construction paper from like hobby or arts and craft stores.

I'm a people, that's what I use. 60-80lb is the sweet spot, heavier will tear out. 60-80 can tear out.

I use paper from Micheal's crafts, don't remember the weight, but it's the right thickness, and it's smooth feeling

Can you measure the thickness and report back to the post? And what colors have you used? Thanks

Could you use something like a phenolic paper to reduce tear out?

Just wondering.

It can be used, for example, to get a thin black line between colored veneers in the veneer stack.

You can see some examples here: LINK

I am sure the cue makers can say more.

Absolutely. The trouble is finding it in thin colors.

I've used g10 for veneers in 0.040". They look awesome, but can chip... probably mostly because they kill carbide.

Wow. I love that. I have a thing for blue veneers. Vivid colors in general are cool. That's why alternatives to dyed wood veneers can be so appealing. Phenolic, acrylic, vinyl, etc., colors can really pop. Of course, the adhesives need to hold and I understand that can be a challenge with dissimilar materials.

Thanks, doc!
