I use rubber cement to glue the veneer. In a well ventilated space, apply cement to both furniture surface and veneer back. Let both dry thoroughly. Space out long, thin dowel rods on surface. Align veneer on top. Working from the center, pull the middle rod out and smooth outward. Remove rods, one at a time, and smooth as you go. Once down, it will not come off! So make sure you are lined up!!! This method never fails me. You talked about the veneer lifting. I've never had that to happen with rubber cement.

I’m SOOOO glad you made this suggestion! I used to watch The Furniture Guys on PBS some 30 years ago and could’ve sworn Joe - the professional furniture refinisher - used the same contact adhesive that you use for Formica countertops. He laid strips of cardboard across the piece so that when he flipped the veneer on top it didn’t stick. This way he could situate the veneer where he wanted it without problem. Then he pulled out the cardboard strips one by one - starting at the center and working outwards - and used a rubber roller to work the surface smooth. I learned so much from those shows - and I use the reupholstery skills I picked up from Ed to this day. I’m pretty sure those episodes are now available on KZbin.

This is how a friend of ours who makes cabinets and desks for the state. Except he didn’t use rubber cement either, he use a specially made glue that you let dry and then used a pretty hot tool. Not a household iron. He put wool piece like you did the sheet to protect and really put some weight in it - he was tall big man. But the other thing I noted he said your bottom surface must be sound and very flat or it will dip and carry one during adhesive or when you finished it was down for the next 50 years but if not flat and he used these powerful lamps that painters use to make sure there aren’t any missed spots that had to be filled. And if they found a spot that wasn’t even with the rest of the piece he fixed it. He said if you didn’t, it would always show in the final piece, sometimes it’s best to start with a new base and even then you have to watch for spots. Wood glue isn’t appropriate I don’t know if the guy told the right thing. Did it say to use it in this situation? What did you use, will have to go back and look. Can’t remember now.

Hi! Great job! One tip for doing veneer sheets. When you’re done ironing (you can iron directly on like a 4-5 setting so mid setting) take a wet cloth or sponge and wipe it down this will show you the spots that didn’t glue down all the way 🫶🏼 then iron those out! But great job! Super helpful to watch you do this!!

came here to post this, its normal to not get all the glue set on the first go when doing it like this, you'll want to wipe it down with water and check for your lifted spots and iron those down, let it set, then do that a couple more times till you feel like you've got them all. worse case scenario they will show when you put on your final varnish/wax/etc and you'll have to iron it then re varnish the area

@ivylaneinteriors a hard roller to press it down and get the bubbles out. Even a straight, wooden rolling pin could be used as you stick it down, going from one end to the other in one pass. It helps if someone else holds the veneer up as you roll it down. A hand roller is easier to work with for final pressing. Occasionally, a tiny hole made with a sewing needle allows you to push bubbles out.

Since there's obvious wax on this piece, clean that I would suggest the following: clean off all the wax you can with your scraper and vacuum whatever, cover the waxed areas with a couple of layers of paper towels then using a pretty warm, warm iron go over the wet, the paper towels and see how much wax they can pull out of the wood with the heat And the paper towels to absorb the wax. You might be very surprised at how much you can get out of the surface that way. I tried this once, and it pretty much took almost all the wax out of the surface very easily. I've also raises the nap on the surface of the wood, which takes out, minor gouges and scrapes.

The outcome is nice. I guess a real carpenter would have replaced that pressboard on top with a real wooden board. That would have cost more money but you would've saved the money for the veener and the glue.

You know. The piece was not an expensive one. Therefore I think she did the right thing. Real carpenter or not.

You go girl! It looks and is amazing! I commend you big time for hanging in there and persevering through all your trial and errors! I learned a lot and thank you for taking us along on your journey. I only wish things had went smoother for you but we appreciate learning along with you. I also commend you for redoing the top so the person who bought it would not have issues down the road. I think I would have been in tears more than once. But in the end the buffet turned out beautiful!
