How to cut and glue

Shell veneers

• For manual cutting, you should cover both sides of the veneer with low-tack masking tape (that you can easily remove

• later) and use a very sharp pair of scissors, X-Acto knife, Stanley knife, or high-quality precision knife. If you try to

• cut the veneer without the masking tape for protection, it is likely to break. We also recommend using a high-quality

• cutting tool; the quality of the blade and its sharpness definitely affect the outcome.

• For intricate shapes and optimum results, consider using high-precision devices such as laser cutter,

• diamond blade, and CNC system.

• Cut pieces can be easily glued on to wood, metal, glass, plastic, and other materials using clear bond ("Crazy Glue"

• or "Super Glue"), epoxy resin, polyester resin, and even thin double-sided tape. The type of gluing you should use

• depends on a number of factors, including the surface, size, application, and final processing of your work.

• In general, however, gel-type glues work better than common liquid-type glues.
