Measuring Veneer
Checking the moisture content in veneer
You can check the moisture content of
veneer with your Wagner hand-held
moisture meter as follows:
1. Put veneer into a tight stack and
separate the stack by at least 3 inches
to 4 inches from the rest of the stack.
Vary the thickness of the stack ac-
cording to unit penetration depth,
example: L606 has a ¾″ depth of
penetration. Measuring a stack less
than the scan depth of the meter will
give you a reading that is lower than
the true moisture reading. Refer to
the species adjustment section in
your manual for the wood you are
using.
2. Electro Static Discharge (ESD)
needs to be prevented, as Wagner’s
warranty doesn’t cover ESD damage.
