To avoid pre-cure, the press should be closed within two minutes of the time the first panel is loaded onto a press platen. For temperatures above 280°F, the pre-cure resistance gradually shortens to below one minute at 300°F. Consult the chart on the reverse side for allowable times and temperatures. All veneers should be of uniform thickness with no open knots next to overlay. All epoxy or urethane patches must be completely cured.
