Default Veneering

I want to try my hand at veneering for the first time. I'll be using crown cut mahogany on a pine sub-strate using (I thought) a cross linking PVA adhesive.
Two questions; Is it necessary to score the surface of the pine before applying the veneer for better bonding? Second, is the type of adhesive I plan to use satisfactory or might I get bleed-through? If so, what type of adhesive would be best? Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I don't want to foul up on my first attempt.
