Do I Need To Veneer Both Sides of a substrate? Veneering Only One Side Of a Substrate is Risky.

Hi Bob Morgan,
Quick question for you - does peel and stick veneer still require a balance veneer on the other side? For reference, this is a roughly 3'x5' panel of 3/4" MDF that I plan to veneer with the wood backed peel and stick curly maple. I also live in a low humidity area so I'm wondering if I can get away without a backer. Thanks!

Hi Charles,
You should back up the substrate with a similar (can be cheaper) veneer. Always.
But, many people don't do it and they get away with it.
If your panel is free standing, you should back it up with a backer veneer for sure. If the panel will be held down to a frame, you can probably veneer only the top surface without problems.
I don't recommend this, but I admit that I've seen lots of veneering projects that utilized the shortcut of veneering only one side of a panel without incurring any problems.
Regards,
