Darryl,

Thanks for your detailed response to my query. While I now understand that the veneer can be bonded vertically, I am beginning to think that it is much safer to bond the veneer horizontally. I cannot afford to make a mistake with this glue up and hope that my vacuum bag test will work with the box on its side as I hope you saw in the images I linked to. I will know more tomorrow.

I have also built a small form to level to box so the surface that the veneer will be bonded to will be in a true horizontal plane. The box is not square and I feared that the veneer would slide down if the surface was not level. I will also be using a breather mesh to counteract any bleed through of the glue. I will be using your Unibond 800.

I will report back when I know more. Thanks so much for your help.
