In this study, the bond-line strength of different bonding pressure of veneers in dry (9% moisturecontent) and wet (immersed in water) conditions was investigated. The results show that peeledEuropean beech veneers need approximately 0.5– 1.2 MPa pressure to achieve a proper bond-linewhen a urea-formaldehyde adhesive was used. The pressure variation within this range did notsignificantly affect the strength of the dry veneer, but the strength of the wet veneers decreasedas the bonding pressure increased. The type of failure varied, especially for the wet veneers. Athigh pressure, the wood were stronger than the cohesive strength of the adhesive and thestrength of the adhesion between the adhesive and the wood. High pressure, however, caused acompression of the bond-line and resulted in a lack of adhesion.
