The Veneer below for your do it yourself kitchen cabinet refacing project is good cabinet grade solid wood veneer with a paper backing and a peel and stick back. The peel and stick veneer is as easy to use as self stick shelf paper, actually easier, because you're working with outside surfaces. The veneer is best applied with veneering tools which make it easier to apply for a long lasting kitchen cabinet refacing project.

Tack Cloths

Tack clothes are one of the most important tools for any part of your project to remodel your kitchen from complete remodeling to kitchen cabinet refacing or repainting. If you have done everything else perfectly, but don't clean the dust off thoroughly the veneer won't stick. After everything else is done. Clean well at least 3 times to be sure all sanding dust is removed.

Tack clothes are lint free fabric impregnated with a sticky substance.

Veneer

This Pressure sensitive veneer is very easy to use.

After the surface of the kitchen cabinet is prepared just peel the protective backing and carefully line up the veneer where you want it and apply a little pressure to the center of the piece to hold it where you want it.

Using your veneering tools apply heavy pressure, working from the center out, until the veneer is laid solid without air bubbles and that piece is done.

Veneer Edge Banding

Veneer edge banding is to cover the laminated layers on most flat surface cabinet doors.

If your kitchen cabinet doors are solid wood you won't need the veneer edge banding.

This edge banding comes in oak and birch and several metallic colors to accent your kitchen cupboard door edges

Use your imagination to make some design additions on your own. A dentil across the top of the kitchen cabinets or a rope design around the edge of the doors always looks nice.
