Have you people tried putting glue on the back of veneer, letting it dry =
and then putting the veneer on with a hot iron, similar to putting =
pre-glued edging strips?

    I am working on an upright piano that had water damage on the =
horizontal surfaces.  I ordered thin walnut veneer and have been trying, =
unsuccessfully, to get it to adhere to the boards.  I did remove the old =
damaged veneer, and cleaned and sanded the surfaces to be repaired.  I =
first worked with wood glue and clamped in a sandwich of boards, then =
tried a contact cement on the next piece.  I keep getting air bubbles.  =
It looks terrible!  There has to be a secret to replacing veneer.  Would =
one of you expert refinishers give me the benefit of your =
knowledge...please?
