Product Information
Restorers 3/4 Inch Pencil Solid Wood Tambour Panel is used to make a tabour for roll top desks and other furniture. This tambour is intended for interior applications and is to be bonded to any clean, dry, structurally sound and rigid surface either horizontal, diagonal, or vertical. Each panel should be stretched by rolling the panel up with slats facing inward as well as bending concave carefully. This spreads each tambour slat out and spaces them evenly allowing for expansion and contraction. As soon as the panels arrive, they must be in a controlled environment (temperature and humidity) ranging from 50 – 80 degrees Fahrenheit. The humidity levels must not fall below 30% and not go above 50% for an extended period.
Since this is real wood it will expand and contract regularly. If painting, staining, or coating, it is extremely important to stretch the material (as mentioned above) to allow for expansion with moisture prior to coating. The material must be acclimated for a minimum of 48 hours prior to finishing. Panels are then typically glued up with a standard paneling/construction adhesive (trowel or caulk style) onto a solid substrate. Thicker profiles should additionally either be held with finishing nails or braced in place until the glue cures.
