Just wanted to chime in with a few comments.
Paperbacked veneer is a great option with Heat Lock. It eliminates the chance of splitting caused by the drying effect of the clothes iron. If you are using Heat Lock with raw wood, it’s always a good idea to spritz it with some veneer softener.
Shipping costs on Heat Lock can seem unreasonable at times. I see it everyday. I charge whatever UPS charges me plus a buck for the box. At the end of the year, shipping ends up being a break-even point for me (the way it should be in my opinion). The most affordable shipping comes when the order has more than one product in it. It’s just the nature of the beast. If you have a big order, the shipping is very reasonable. The smaller orders can be a killer though.
My wife and I also offer paperbacked veneer so the OP might want to consider that as a way of saving on the shipping as well.
Lastly, a big thanks to Groomlakearea51, greg928gts, and others for mentioning my website. It is greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Joe
