The invention provides a method of applying a veneer to a substrate having edges with a compound curve. The invention includes the steps of trimming the veneer to provide a peripheral margin and applying a stretchable releasable adhesive tape to the margin, applying an adhesive to the surfaces of the substrate, positioning the veneer over the substrate and securing the veneer in position, and subjecting the veneer to a substantially uniform pressure over thesubstrate. An embodiment for convex edges provides the further steps of providing one or more v-shaped relief cuts converging where the curved edge surface meets the main surface and applying a releasable adhesive tape to retain a butt joint between the edges of each relief cut. An embodiment for concave edges provides the further steps of providing one or more slits extending into the margin of the veneer parallel to the direction of the grain and applying a releasable adhesive tape over the relief cuts. The invention thus permits a single sheet of veneer to be applied over the main and edge surfaces of furniture and the like having concave or convex rounded or bullnose edges.

L'invention concerne une méthode visant l'application d'un placage sur un substrat comportant des bords à courbure complexe. Il s'agit de dresser le placage de manière à obtenir une marge périphérique et d'appliquer un ruban adhésif étirable et amovible sur la marge, d'appliquer un adhésif à la surface du substrat, de positionner le placage sur le substrat, de le fixer en position et de le soumettre à une pression essentiellement uniforme sur le substrat. Dans une variante prévoyant des bords convexes, il s'agit également de ménager une ou plusieurs découpes en V convergeant vers le point de rencontre entre la surface à bord incurvé et la surface principale, et d'appliquer un ruban adhésif amovible permettant de maintenir un joint abouté entre les bords de chaque découpe. Dans une variante prévoyant des bords concaves, il s'agit également de pratiquer une ou plus fentes s'étendant dans la marge du placage, parallèlement au sens du grain, et d'appliquer un ruban adhésif amovible sur les découpes. L'invention permet donc d'appliquer une simple feuille de placage sur la surface principale et sur les bords d'un meuble ou d'un article similaire ayant des bords concaves, convexes ou à nez arrondi.
