Looking for those with experience in using veneer.

I would like to attempt to use it on a few lures, but is there any difference between sources of veneer? AcidRod has the thinnest I have seen so far and is super flexible.

Any personal experience's with veneer?

Cheers,

What I have seen on TradeMe and in Spotlight is laminate, the laminate is thicker than the veneer. I need super thin product to smooth over the curves of a lure. I would be keen to see some of your trolling heads though out of interest Wink

Thanks Stu,

I emailed these guys the other day for an updated price list as the website is a bit out of date. It is the thinnest I have found also, I think it may be the go!

Do you have an updated list Stu? If so would you PM it to me, or mailto:[email protected]

I will need large sheets for lures, so I'm picking I'll have some good off cuts for rods Wink
