Flexible Shell Veneers
New Flexible Natural Shell Veneers easily wrap around rod blanks
WITHOUT HEAT - WITHOUT VINEGAR SOAKING - WITHOUT BOILING
Available in Opaque and Transparent Sheets
The mirco-thin natural shell veneer is protected on both sides with a
thin, clear laminate to prevent splitting even when wrapped around a
1/4" diameter blank!
Each flexible sheet measures 5"X9" and will provide enough material
for 4-10 butt wraps, depending on the blank diameters used.  Material
thickness is .004"/.10mm
Opaque Veneers
These veneers are laminated on a dark
background and will retain their color regardless
of your background color.
Opaque Abalone
Transparent Veneers
These veneers are laminated on a clear background,
allowing you to create unlimited effects by using different
background colors of either paint or wrapped thread.

  • Our natural shell veneers are easily cut with scissors or can be trimmed to size with a straight edge and razor blade.  
  • Transparent sheets are applied to the blank (or over thread) with  a spray adhesive (3M "77") available at most Craft and Hardware stores.  
  • Opaque sheets may be applied using either spray adhesive or double sided mylar tape.
  • After application, simply coat with your favorite rod finish for protection.
