Subject : two-ply rookie question - shelf life.

Ok, I am no rookie to veneering, but I am with two-ply. I agreed to make a replacement top for my sister. She has an old cabinet, that needs a new top. We decided I would make a two-ply and bring it to her and apply with contact cement. I hate contact cement, but this seems like the only way to get a new top surface since the cabinet isn't going into a bag!

I bought a batch of red oak for both plys, cut and taped. Grains at 90 degrees. Is it ok, to press this and possibly wait a few weeks before the final installation? I can keep it between cauls and ensure it does not curl or warp. Or should I head up to her the day after I press it and get it on asap?

I am planning on using Unibond 800 to make the two-ply

Thanks, Carl
