This allows cabinet makers, furniture manufacturers and professional workshops to select an adhesive suited to their particular substrate, production equipment and installation method.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnlike printed or imitation wood-effect edging, the visible surface is genuine oak veneer. Once correctly applied and finished, it creates an authentic timber appearance that coordinates particularly well with oak-faced MDF, chipboard, plywood and solid-oak furniture components.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat Does FS Mean?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFS stands for \u003cstrong\u003eFleeced and Sanded\u003c\/strong\u003e. A supporting fleece improves the flexibility and stability of the veneer, while the natural oak face is sanded to provide a smooth surface ready for final preparation and finishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis FS version does not have a heat-activated adhesive coating. A compatible adhesive must be selected and applied separately. This is the principal difference between FS unglued veneer and FSHM pre-glued veneer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine natural oak veneer surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFleeced backing for improved flexibility and stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmooth, sanded wood face\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied without pre-applied adhesive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAllows control over adhesive selection and application\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30mm width for wider edges and generous trimming allowance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong 100m roll for workshop and production use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be trimmed, lightly sanded, stained and finished after bonding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for furniture manufacture, refurbishment and bespoke joinery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSuitable Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 30mm width provides useful additional coverage for wider or thicker panels and applications requiring a generous trimming allowance.

Follow the adhesive manufacturer’s instructions regarding coverage, open time, pressure and curing time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePosition the veneer with sufficient material extending beyond both faces of the panel. Apply firm, consistent pressure across the complete width and length. Allow the adhesive to develop fully before trimming the veneer flush.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlways produce a test piece using the intended substrate, adhesive and finishing system before beginning a full production run.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFinishing the Veneer\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce bonded and trimmed, the natural oak surface can be finished with a compatible lacquer, oil, wax or wood stain. Clear finishes normally deepen the colour and highlight the characteristic oak grain, while stains can help coordinate the edging with surrounding furniture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause decorative veneer is considerably thinner than solid timber, sand carefully and test the selected finish on an offcut first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eNatural Wood Variation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOak is a natural material. Differences in shade, grain direction, ray markings and figure should be expected between sections and production batches. These variations are normal and contribute to the authentic appearance of the finished furniture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDoes this veneer have glue on the back?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. It is supplied completely unglued, allowing you to select an adhesive suitable for your substrate and application process.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat is the difference between FS and FSHM veneer?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eFS veneer is fleeced and sanded but unglued. FSHM veneer includes a factory-applied heat-activated hot-melt adhesive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCan this veneer be applied with an ordinary iron?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot on its own. There is no adhesive coating for an iron to activate. A separate compatible bonding system must be selected and applied.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCan the oak veneer be stained or oiled?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Once applied, it can accept many compatible stains, oils, waxes and lacquers. Always test the finish on an offcut first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhy choose the 30mm width?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wider strip provides additional coverage for thicker board edges and gives a generous trimming allowance when a flush finished edge is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse our complete \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.blum.org.uk\/collections\/veneers-edgings-veneer-edging\"\u003ereal wood veneer edging collection\u003c\/a\u003e, compare our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.blum.org.uk\/collections\/veneers-edgings-sheet-veneer\"\u003eflexible sheet veneers\u003c\/a\u003e, or explore the full \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.blum.org.uk\/pages\/veneers-edgings\"\u003eveneers and edgings range\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UNION VENEERS LTD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62849802371421,"sku":"VEN033E","price":31.57,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0968\/4100\/7453\/files\/VEN033E_96459c2c-94f9-44ff-b6b5-9a4fd2281e1e.jpg?v=1784619230","url":"https:\/\/www.blum.org.uk\/products\/oak-flexible-wood-veneer-fs-unglued-30mm-100m","provider":"Hart Wholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
