I know this has come up in the past but it's worth repeating.... the
comments section is interesting.

Well, I agree with his comments on smooth is best, but he's wrong when he
says "For hammer veneering, you can use either hot or liquid hide glue."

Liquid hide glue does *not* work. It doesn't dry fast enough and isn't
sticky enough. DAMHIKT.
