All he needed to do was use the masking tape and super glue trick to stick the thin stock on the carrier board. Done it many times with my Ryobi planer to make sound boards for instruments. On my planer the rollers engage before the cutters, making it easy to sneak up on it with a series of very light cuts.

Matias have you checked your local kitchen countertop fabrication shop for offcuts? They throw out tons of solid surface off cuts and most of them are more than happy give you as much of it as you want. Corian or Staron makes an excellent flat and smooth surface. I made my router table using a 1/2" thick 24x48 piece of Corian. It routes and cuts easily and can be glued to any substrate with epoxy or construction adhesive. You can even make your entire bandsaw out of it. Most fabricator shops also have granite off cuts which are excellent for all kinds of shop uses.

One other option for those who are considering their own bandsaws (or other machines) for work surfaces is MDF with HPL surfaces. The MDF is flat and has a significant mass to help deaden vibrations. The HPL provides a durable surface that is easy to clean. Combined they are an excellent choice which is very low cost. You can often get scraps of HPL from cabinet and counter top shops. The only downside really is the ability to hold fasteners and wide spans - but both are pretty easy to deal with.

And with that said, man, now that's a bandsaw table. :)

I don't remember if you don't like double stick tape. But for running thin boards or veneer that is at least an 1/8th" Put some double stick tape on the piece of plywood so that it catches the end of the veneer. You don't have to run the tape the whole length, just the end will do especially since you want to do both sides. Run the plainer on 1.

Re planing thin material. The leading edge can be beveled (e.g., chisel or sander) to a feather edge, then glue that first inch to the sled. The rest of the stock doesn't need to be further secured. After planing, cross cut (with a utility knife if thin enough) just past the glued strip. That frees the bulk of the stock. If doing multiples, put the next one behind the strip that was left behind - that strip needs a bevel and glue too.
