Anways I am ready to finish my Pi speakers , the boxes are prepped and ready to get veneered.
This time I ordered a few sheets of 10 Mil paperbacked veneer from Tape Ease in hopes I will be successful this time.

I have read of a few of you guys that use glue and an iron but i'd rather use contact cement.

Anyhow these are fairly big at ~ 30" x 14" x 18" so there
is plenty of room for error. :-)


1. will I have issues with the veneer sticking to the PCV ports? They are perfectly flush with the baffle.

2. Tape-Ease says that trimming is best done with a utlility knife ...last time I did trim this way and
the wood splintered. / How long after applying should
you trim? I always trim my laminate right away.

Thats all for now..I expect to start veneering next weekend so I have several days to consider it and come up with a plan.

I'd appreciate some tips or tricks on how to best tackle this job.

The cabinets have been sanded down to 120 grit and were washed with water and a rag afterwards.
