That was my thinking on why the splits. I had to remove some old badly damaged (water) from a cathedral (91) with bookend veneer. There was a split at the top of the cabinet so I covered the split with the new veneer just a bit. Sun got to it and the veneer separated. Put a wet sponge on split and the crack closed up. Still a tiny bit of cracking but nothing real noticeable. In hind sight I should not have covered the split. Big mistake.
