Neatform and Bending Plywood
|
|
a) Surfacing Method
 Description
Skin of Neatform used to surface either
6mm / 1/4” or 9mm / 3/8” bending plywood materials
previously attached to a framework.
Example Applications
Improves conventional fabrication
methods by eliminating the problems associated with the poor
surface and inconsistency of bending plywood.
Features
& Benefits
• Fast to fabricate
• 12mm / 1/2” or 15mm / 5/8” thick (nominal)
+ surfacing
• Hides the poor surface, cracks and exclusions in bending
plywood
• Surface ready for finishing
• Screw and hinge holding characteristics
Fabrication
Method
Neatform
and Bending Plywood
Surfacing Method - Directions
1. Fabricate a framework and cover with bending
plywood using conventional techniques.
2. Cut
the Neatform to rough shape and offer up to the
framework to ensure a good fit, positioning the
Neatform grooved face inwards unless making a feature
of the grooved surface. |
|
3. Following the glue manufacturer instructions,
apply a coat of PVA glue or contact cement to
the Neatform and bending plywood and finally position.
If contact cement is used it is essential to ensure
correct positioning is achieved first time because
subsequent adjustment will be impossible.
|
|
4. Hold in position with clamps while PVA glue cures.
Optionally, staples can be used to pin in position,
while the adhesive cures. For further information
on stapling see the section on fabrication tips.

|
5. Trim to shape and finish in the normal way. |
