Thanks all for your helpful hints and suggestions. I will most probably try several methods in mock-up and testing with some backer board stock I have. I'll let you know how it goes in the next week or so. Here's my plan right now: I have also considered some backing materials, and believe this might be the key? I intend to try a close weave fiberglass cloth running at 45 deg to the grain. This should provide flexibility with, and accross, the grain while supporting the veneer butt-joints of the marquetry layup. The initial pressing will be a typical face taped top veneer with a very thin poly-glue (Titebond is what I have on hand right now) and directly flat (vacuum) pressed onto the fiberglass cloth. The trick, I suppose, will be to take the finished flat veneer panel and curve it around the cylinder (positive mold) of the beverage container WITHOUT cracking the glue line and veneer!.....wish me luck!Bob D.

Dear Bob,I wish you luck, especially with the veneer on fiberglass. I have not heard of anyone trying that, not to mention using yellow glue. I would like to hear how that goes.SincerelyDarryl Keil: Thanks all for your helpful hints and suggestions.

I'm still waiting for a UPS shipment to get the last few items I need to begin the project. Waiting for UPS over a holiday weekend is way worse than waiting for the finish to dry enough for final polishing! The Titebond I was refering to is a cheaper version of Guerilla Glue and is a polyurethane type. They also make the water soluable Acetyl type wood glue. Sorry I should have been more specific.: Dear Bob,: I wish you luck, especially with the veneer on fiberglass. I have not heard of anyone trying that, not to mention using yellow glue.
