I've been reading some more - it sounds like for the thick (1/16") unbacked veneer like I'm using it really needs a quite hard adhesive that won't 'creep' as the veneer expands/contracts. Apparently that's 'PPR' type glue - powdered pre-catalyzed resin. Sounds horrible!

I contacted https://www.joewoodworker.com and asked for recommendations - they replied with this product:

Unfortunately you have to buy a 5lb pail of it! And it only has a 1yr shelf life.

I think this is essentially the same thing, but available in smaller quantities, so I'm going to try that:

Another consideration is that it requires >70 degrees Fahrenheit to bond. Not a problem in July - but here in the Pacific Northwest that's hard to come by much of the year.
