I agree with Joseph. I was taught as an apprentice to dampen the veneer and sandwich it between layers of newsprint and apply pressure. I made a small press using threaded rods, plywood and some solid wood to keep veneer. It has kept for years. Glycerin helps the veneer absorb the water but you still can't leave the veneer open for very long before it starts to move again.
why wiil the oldest,easyest, safeist and cheapest way be last to be adopted? open your eyes? you looking through thick cloud? when the sun is shining.
