I started using carpenter's glue... that didn't go well because I only have four clamps and a big piece of plywood to sandwich the veneer and I am certain I needed more... so for the rest of the project I used contact cement.. all of my bubles came after applying latex shallac over contact cement backed veneer. Speaking of veneer, I used the raw variety. Looking back I'll never use raw veneer again (although it was way cheaper compared to paper backed ones) and would need way more clamps... someone told me later that I also needed a roller to apply on the veneer when matting to the clued surface. Bill, would you have any other suggestions?

Bill, thanks for the suggestions. Here in the great white North, the price for a 4x8 backed veneer was $119 Canadian... which I saw at a woodcraft place, maybe I am not looking in the right places. When you mentioned that one can also use a 2x4 piece of pine to push the veneer down, are you also squeezing the glue out underneath the veneer as well? Or is this a light pressure press?
