: I think soaking the veneer in a tub may add too much water.

: But, do a test. Take a few pieces say 2" X 8" and put them in water
: for different lengths of time, starting with just a five second dip.

: What you want to achieve is to restore a moisture content which
: will leave the veneer flat.

: Wetter wood will be more pliable but will take longer to dry to a level
: good for gluing. You might try flattening wet wood with a steam iron.

: Unless you want to invest in a moisture reading gauge the easiest why to
: find the right moisture level is to place the wood against your cheek.

: If it feels wet dry it more, if it feels dry glue it up.

: All the best,

Just a thought that may not be worth much. Soak it in the bath tub and get it as wet and pliable as you want, then glue it on with gorilla glue witch utilizes the water to set up.
