I'm a veneer newbie and picked up a small (1x8') roll of 10mil paperpacked
PSA white oak veneer. I wanted to try it out before I placed a larger order.
It came rolled up, in a tight curl.

I've searched the web and can't really find any advice on flattening PSA
veneer.
Could someone help and lend some advice please?

Should I use a softening agent like glycerin and water before unrolling and
sticking it to a substrate?
Or will this destroy the paperbacking?

Do I just simply roll it out and the paper will prevent/limit cracking?

Thank you!
