Claims20
A method of forming an engineered veneer block, the method comprising:
- stacking a plurality of laminate layers;
- and
- resistive heating the stack of the plurality of laminate layers to cure an adhesive in the plurality of laminate layers by transmitting electrical energy through an entire thickness of each laminate layer of the stack of the plurality of laminate layers.
A bonding agent for forming an engineered veneer block, the bonding agent comprising:
- an adhesive;
- and
- a permeating agent configured to improve permeation of the adhesive and moisture through wood.
An engineered veneer comprising:
- a plurality of strips of laminate layers;
- and
- a cured bonding agent bonding the plurality of strips of the laminate layers together to form the engineered veneer, the engineered veneer emitting less than 0.15 parts per million formaldehyde as measured by EPA Method 323—Formaldehyde Measurement Using Derivatization.
