Ron's RCA T7-5 Cabinet Rescue
#15

Ron;
  I have heard of people using PVA carpentery glue for attaching veneer, but they spread it on the cabinet, and on the back of the veneer first, letting it dry. I have not tried this, I've never had a cabinet emasculated as much as this RCA of yours to need an entire side re-veneered, usually a spot repair was good enough, such as re-gluing a lifted section of veneer, or patching a few chips, I have lots of bar clamps for this, well worth collecting even cheap ones. Anyhow what Bob Andersen seems to use is watered down Titebond brand wood glue, and a heat gun, apparently you can heat PVA glue once dry, and it behaves like the old fashioned hide glue. Contact cement works too, but it is NOT as forgiving, once it's in place you can't really adjust it.
Regards
Arran
