Questions about veneering - Page 4

I have a further question to the veneering experts regarding glues. I don't like water based glues (they react to moisture) or contact cement (too weak) for veneering, since they appear more prone to edge lifting and delamination under stress than necessary. Are there any acrylic, polyurethane or epoxy type glues that are suitable for veneering work? I'm willing to go to a little extra expense and effort to get the best waterproof high strength bond.

Btw, how does PPR urea resin and NBL Veneer sound? Can I allow PPR to partly set up on both surfaces before applying veneer & use an iron with this glue?

TIA for any assistance.

Anybody ever hear of Oakwood Veneer? They look like they have an awesome selection of veneers and their pricing doesn't seem that bad. Can I get some feedback before I decide to make a purchase?

Hi guys,

I know this post is several years old, but I have a question regarding the conversation that went on back then.

When using wood glue for veneer, it was stated to glue the substrate and back of the veneer and let it dry before ironing it on. My question is: how dry is dry. What I am getting at is: what if I let the glue dry for several days? Is that too long a time as compared to just when it dries in about an hour?

My idea was to glue the entire box, four sides, and veneer, apply two adjacent sides, let set for several days, trim, then apply the last two sides which have dried glue that is several days old. Is that too long to wait? I figure dried yellow glue is dried yellow glue. Am I wrong?
