That looks messy thanks for demonstration

[@brandonwoodworkersclub4097]

It was. Thanks

Be careful with this method, you can ruin the veneer. It's very difficult to clean it afterwards

[@ryanandrusky]

What do you mean? That is completely false. This is an incredibly easy method to clean. Cold water. That is it. If you ruined the veneer or project, that is user error.

@@ryanandrusky User error?? It's not a brand of soap or paint. There are several techniques in this. In Caoba sapelli if you use this technique you end up with glue stains in many parts, it will be due to the type of grain dunno. But tell me, what could I be doing wrong, if the technique is just to dirty the whole veneer with glue??? Putting glue on one side also works and you don't make a mess of everything
