I am in the process of starting to apply veneer to MDF. I will be using Cherry veneer that is wood backed. I've always like a contact cement for this application. But I want to do it in my basement shop and I'm concered about the odors. So I heard from another wood worker that you could use Titebond II. Apply two coats to each piece (substrate and veneer) Once they are dry, put the two together and apply an iron. This will bond the two.
I tried this on a scrap piece and it worked quite well. Has anyone attempted this? Is there any secret to get it to work correctly? Does dry time of the glue matter before the two pieces get put together?
Is there any reason that I should look at thinning the Titebond II? Could I just apply with a small roller?
Thanks!
