You always do great cabinet work and I always enjoy seeing the results of your labor.
I've used a hot iron to iron veneer on previously, after using Titebond. I learned the technique from John "Hagstar" Hagman. More recently, however, he told me that he doesn't do that anymore as it gave him some problems. So I have opted for the contact cement.
His old technique was somewhat different from yours - he applied the glue, laid the veneer down, then started ironing while the glue was wet. As I said, I've done this a few times and it worked.
The contact cement arrived yesterday. The roller arrived today. Hopefully tomorrow, I will get that first large piece of veneer cut and attached to the left side. Then will come the four narrow strips of veneer at the bottom, plus a couple of the narrow strips on the bottom of the right side. I may do those another day.
