Super-Soft 2™ Veneer Softener flattens crotch, burl, and other wavy veneers by temporarily plasticizing wood cells. Super-Soft 2™ prevents splits and cracks by instantly making veneers unbelievably flexible without affecting the wood's staining and finishing properties. Apply by dipping, spraying, or brushing. No mixing required. Watch the video and see how well this stuff works on a burl veneer.

Size: 1 Quart (sprayer included)

Instructions

Use in a well ventilated area.
Use full strength, do not mix with water Apply by dipping, spraying, or brushing.
Allow veneers to stand until the surface appears dry.

Remove from press and place absorbent paper between each sheet and re-apply weight.

Super-Soft 2™ Information

Will the softener affect the ability of the veneer to take a stain?
Despite the very slight tint of the softener, it will not affect the veneer's ability to accept a stain or dye.

What's the best method of application?
Spraying is the most efficient way to apply Super-Soft 2.

Is the softener flammable?
No. Unlike our competitors, we offer it in a chemical formulation that is not flammable.

What is the shelf life of the softener?
The shelf life is indefinite. It should last forever.

How long will softening effect last?
For some reason, this varies from veneer to veneer. Some users are finding the flexibility so remain for as long as 2 weeks. Generally speaking, you can expect the effects to last between 4 and 7 days.

Can you ship this stuff abroad?
Yes. We are the only U.S. company currently shipping this new formula to Canada, Alaska, and Hawaii.

Can this be used for flattening wavy veneers too?
Yes! Flattening is its main use.

Will Super-Soft 2 make the veneer sticky like homemade softener?
Not at all. The veneer will feel soft and pliable not sticky and brittle.

What happened to Super-Soft 1?
We no longer offer the original formula because the effects were not as strong as the new version and because it wasn't suitable for use with clothes iron curing.

How soft does it really make the veneer?
I shot the picture at the right to give you an idea as to how well Super-Soft 2 works. This image shows madrone burl veneer rolled around a pencil. There are no cracks or splits. If I can roll a burl veneer this tight, you can probably imagine the possibilities with complex veneering projects! (Click the image to enlarge)
