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 =

replacing veneer. Would one of you expert refinishers give me =
