I have a job coming up where I will be replacing burr walnut veneer on a fallboard. I've veneered flat surfaces with no problem but was wondering what method of clamping some of you might suggest along with your favorite glues and methods. Looking forward to any responses. Regards, Graeme Harvey, New Plymouth, New Zealand</blockquote> Hot hide glue produces a strong bond without clamping.  If the surface is curved, soaking the veneer in hot water will make it more pliable (towel dry before installing). (I suppose larger pieces can be draped with hot, wet towels). Pins will also hold it to a curve.  A veneer 'hammer' helps to coax the veneer down as well. An iron will help to smooth things out and reactivate any glue which might need it. Before the glue finally sets, coat the surface with a dilute glue solution, this will help the bonding process and any residue will sand off easily. Practice on some smaller scrap pieces if your are not familiar with this application.
