This report investigated the effect of veneer incising (incisor teeth patterns) on conventional hot-pressing time and compression behavior of spruce LVL/plywood. The 4 factors taken into account were panel type (LVL or plywood), number of panel layers, veneer moisture content and veneer type. Three veneer types were considered: non-incised veneer, lightly-incised (lathe-incised) veneer and heavily-incised veneer (similar to veneer incising in front of dryer). The three veneer moisture levels considered were 0%, 3% and 6%. The number of panel layers used was 5, 9 and 13. A mixed-level experimental design was employed. Using a statistical software program, JMP, the main factors affecting the LVL/plywood hot-pressing time were identified.
