Hello everyone.
I am going to apply veneer over metal door.
I did lots of research on the web (I'm DIY enthusiast not the wood professional) and read lots of articles about veneering, but almost all of them failed to talk about metals as surface.
The door cannot be removed so vacuum press is no option.
I have already sanded and removed all the paint from the surface that will be veneered. I am going to apply veneer horizontally (I think it will be easier for me to apply 70cm x 25cm sheets than 210cmx25cm). I will be applying sheets on the door one by one. and I've chosen to use contact cement as adhesive.
has anybody done such a thing? any advice/correction will be huge help for me.
P.S. is this right place to post this topic?
