Hi Group, Looking to put some Birdseye Maple veneer on top of a
dresser. The veneer that I planning on using is buckled. How does one
get it to lie flat when installing with contact cement? Also it's going
to take two pieces. What's the best way to get a barely visible seam
where they're joined? Thanks, Jim

It's possible that whatever server he's using is slow,
and the replies hadn't appeared yet (or his original
post, leading him to think it hadn't gone thru).

Anyway, to the question at hand: are we talking about
putting new veneer on top of a new dresser, or new
veneer on top of an existing dresser, or trying to put
existing veneer back onto an existing dresser?

If it's the last case, trying to re-adhere existing
veneer that has come unstuck and warped, I think he's
doomed to failure. Old veneer is very brittle, I doubt
the trick of running a steam iron over it will work.

Sorry about the double post. I was switching newsgroup servers. Thanks
for the answers. I'll check out some videos. Jim

WE removed the old veneer which was pretty badly damaged and was going
to replace it with some that I'm looking at on evil-bay which happens
to be buckled. Jim

WE lost our Earthlink account so lost access to their news server. The
first one I switched to wouldn't allow posts so switched another one
which did allow me to post so I'm good again. Jim
