Subject : Veneering after assembly

I am just wondering if it is possible to veneer a surface on a volume such as a box or the side of a cabinet after it is assembled using the vacuum bag. Wouldn't the box collapse from the pressure on the surface? If this does not work, what would be an easy way, not too messy?

If the interior has no rough spots, I have a weather balloon that I loosly inflate inside the box. As the bag is drawn, the air in the balloon expands and counterbalances most of the pressure. I have made up a bladder with poly sheet and vacuum tape but that is a real pain to fit. The balloon is easier but dellicate. If the interior is rough I have lined it with poly breather material before setting the balloon.

You would have to either build a temporary brace inside the box, or perhaps look into one of the self inflating bladders that Vacupress sells.: I am just wondering if it is possible to veneer a surface on a volume : such as a box or the side of a cabinet after it is assembled using the : vacuum bag.
