Hazen,
So.... this klunker has a bad veneer-ial disease?
Constantines is an okay source for cheaper stuff and smaller pieces.
You know.... sometimes it just doesn't pay to go with cheap veneer.
Cost-per-sq.ft difference is negligible compared to the consequences of
poor adhesion or sub-standard appearance.
There are many sources for high-quality bubble-free good-looking veneer.
