The gas having been turned on andthe plate heated, the job to be veneered is laid on themachine, and cramps are then placed across and tight-ened down by means of set-screws, until the air be-tween the foundation and the veneer is excluded, and 282 THE PRACTICAL CABINET MAKER the superfluous glue squeezed out.
