A while back I asked for advice on applying a 34 x 48 piece of teak veneer to a table top. Going in, I knew that vacuum bagging was the gold standard but didn't want to make the equipment investment for what would likely be a one time use.
Many thanks for the suggestion of using Titebond and ironing the veneer on. It turned out flawless. I started ironing from the center outward and had no problems with bubbles. After my initial pass with the iron, I went over the entire surface and tapped with a finger nail to check for areas that were not firmly bonded. A bit of touch up with the iron and I was done.
Thanks again to all (Roger Wiegand, Michelle Rich, Bill Orbine, et al) for the help.
