Default regluing veneer?

Hi all,

I just bought a used desk off Craigslist, appears to not be factory
made but a scratch built thing. It was advertised as "solid wood"
however I found it to actually have furniture grade plywood facings.
Not complaining mind you, as I bought it anyway - looks rather nice
and it's quite heavy and sturdy. There is one issue with the desk and
that is where one of the little veneer bands is glued to the edge of
the plywood, it's coming loose in the middle of the panel. I didn't
even notice until I got it home and moved indoors, so it's obviously
not a major problem, but I don't want to catch it and rip it off.
What's the best glue for this kind of repair? Regular wood glue, or
contact cement, or other?

Elmer's or Titebond II should work well. Work out your clamping system
first so that everything will be nice and snug while the glue sets up.
Application into the delaminated portion will be tricky...a large
hypodermic needle would be ideal, but some plastic squeeze bottles
could work.

I've use these for many different things. Walmart has marinade injectors
that work fine. Cut the end off so the fluid comes out of the end vs the
side...unless that's what you want for your case.

As said, clamping (not just some books on it) is important.
