Patterson 85AW: Clamping the Front
|
Here is the Patterson front being clamped. Glue was injected into the bottom edge, which had warped and come apart. There were several layers, what with the veneer, substrate, etc. Once the glue is injected, a layer of saran wrap was wrapped around the area, so that any excess glue wouldn't stick to the wood boards. The boards were used to make a "sandwich" so the clamps could put equal pressure across the front. The entire sandwich was clamped down hard, and allowed to sit for a day. When the clamps and boards and wrap were removed, all the warpage was fixed! Some excess glue needed to be trimmed off, but that was it. The next step will be to fix the veneer issues along the front edge, in the zebrawood trim. |
