Yesterday evening, I had my very first experience applying self-sticking veneer to a 44B cathedral cabinet. The grain is running the wrong way (side to side instead of front to back), but the owner didn't care as long as it had new veneer. It isn't the easiest stuff in the world to work with.
Make sure you have a small roller tool if you use this type of veneer. I didn't, and have a few small air bubbles left that I can't get to completely press down.
At least I managed to line it up correctly so that there is no gap anywhere between the front arch and the new veneer.
The owner of this cabinet furnished the veneer; I do not know the source. I do know that I have not yet seen any veneer you can buy that has the gran running in the direction we need that you can buy in the extra wide widths that would be required for a continuous sheet to go around a cathedral cabinet.
