How is raw veneer to work with?

Re: Painting

I'm going to paint my speaker box, will i need to seal the edges with the glue/water mixture?

A coat or two of good quality primer will suffice, with a light sanding between coats of course. 😉

Thanks for the Pinkmouse.

I've got more problems.

I'm going to paint the front baffle and veneer the rest with some Iron-on veneers. However, my wood work was quite shocking and the joins isnt flush. The exposed edge is lower than the joining side. This makes it very difficult to sand/plane.

Can I use putty to make the join flush?

if i use putty, will i need to seal the exposed edge before i apply the putty. After I apply the putty, will i need to seal that as well?
