    Does anyone have a recommendation on how to reglue large pieces of case veneer that has peeled back off the side of a large upright on a S.W. Miller cabinet grand ? The same has happened to the veneer on the bottom panel. Perhaps there is a supplier of a glue sheet that can be inserted under the panel and activated with an iron ???

    Thanks to a youtube video a while back I use the dry titebond technique. It works very well too.
    Apply titebond to both surfaces and let them completely dry. Then apply veneer with an iron. My favorite for curved surfaces.

    You can also purchase heat-activated glue for this purpose, though I wonder if it's the same as Titetbond. This site is a good one: Iron-On Veneering With Heat Lock™ Adhesive

    Heat Lock veneer glue bonds wood veneer to common substrates with an ordinary clothes iron with outstanding results. This is the best way to iron on wood veneer.

    I've used the "glue on both surfaces, let dry then iron" technique quite successfully also. But use some wax paper between the iron and veneer.
