Use Plastic Mirror Tiles to Preview Veneer Matches
To plan veneer matches, such as a sunburst pattern, I connect mirrors with blue tape and position them over the veneer as shown. Instead of glass mirrors I use inexpensive plastic mirror tiles. They are self-adhesive, so I stick them to 11⁄44-in. MDF for stability. You can cut the thin tiles with a knife, which makes them much easier to deal with than glass. —COLTON SNYDER, Telford, Pa.
