I have not tried this yet but just read about it and for a lot of people this method works well with no investment in equipment.

Its a glue calle "Heat Lock" developed for veneering with an iron. Forming a ridgid glue line and fast set up. Ready to be machined the same day.

www.veneersupplies.com
sells the product, under adhesives,BetterBond Heat-Lock Gallon

The better bond web sit just has a link to some good tips right now.

Saw this praised on Joe the wood something and there was a hint among the Paeans (look it up) about splitting from the heat unlocking moisture.
Who's gonna try it first?
I just bought a truckload of PPR last week. Hah!

My song is, use lower heat. As low so its just really warm. The hot iron cab be a spoiler

I read Joe's page in more detail and a couple of questions came up:

Why would seaming be impossible with this glue? Can I not just tape the sheets up, apply glue and then iron?

Also, it sounds like water-based dye is not recommended. Does this mean that the glue can dissolve when it comes in contact with water, regardless of how long it's been cured?

I have not read Joes page in a while or his page on this glue if there is one.

I dont see why the veneers cant be taped with quality veneer tape and then ironed down as described.

White glue is considered weakest glue for holding up to moisture and plenty of peopl apply water based dye after using white glue.

Sorry I dont have a real answer for you. more investigation with the people who are making the claims might be in order. The claims dont make a lot of sense to me
