Vacuum press

Multico vacuum press kits for veneering and laminating, with polyurethane bags from 100 × 150 cm to 400 × 280 cm. Polyurethane is tougher and more flexible than vinyl, especially in the cold.

Three things decide the result. Use a urea-formaldehyde glue, such as Cascamite, or a veneer-grade PVA, never contact cement, hot-melt or standard yellow PVA. Lay breather mesh so the air can reach the port. And work on a rigid, grooved platen: the panel is only as flat as the platen.

Frequently asked questions

Which glue should I use in a vacuum press?

Use a urea-formaldehyde glue, such as Cascamite (3 hours at 20 °C), or a veneer-grade PVA. Never use contact cement, hot-melt or standard yellow PVA: they won't work under vacuum.

How much pressure does a vacuum press apply?

At 150 mbar absolute, a practical figure for a workshop pump, the bag presses at about 8.5 tonnes per square metre.

What does the breather mesh do?

It lies between the work and the bag and lets the air travel to the port from every part of the panel. Without it, dead zones can form where the veneer isn't pressed.

Why does the platen matter?

The bag presses the veneer onto whatever is beneath it, so the panel comes out only as flat as the platen. Use a rigid board with grooves in its face.
