Thanks for all the info. I've got the paper backed veneer, so I guess I'll go with the contact cement. The Formica company makes a water based cement that doesn't seem to have as many leathal warnings... my be I'll try that. Have you heard about that? I got it at Lowe's it's called 160 Water Base Adhesive. The directions are the same as the contact cement, but you need to wait 30-40 minutes to dry.
Thanks again for your help...
Tom
