RIc, Mark describes the process of glue-sizing very well. In the factory the raw veneer is sized just before the final sanding. The glue/water mixture is wiped on with a sponge and allowed to dry overnight. Walnut veneer is very susceptible to grain raising, and this application lays a good foundation for the subsequent finishing materials. I've never tried glue-sizing in my present shop work. Old veneer doesn't seem to pose the same problems that new wood does. Besides I can take my time.
