   PSA or pressure sensitive adhesive, requires pressure. The substrate should be clean and flat. Materials like fir plywood are not recommended. I don't think you will need any additional adhesive. I'd cut off a practice piece and J-roller it or press with a veneer hammer. You might be surprised, some of the PSA glues are very strong on a good surface. I would buy the occasional piece of oak or maple at HD but it takes a half day to get those danged stickers off!

   Can you sand it off and use Hide Glue?

   Make sure the substrate is clean and dust free.  Peel the first 2"-3" from one side of the veneer and line it up with one side of the substrate.  Use a J roller to roll/press the veneer while you slowly pull away the adhesive backing.  Roll from the center towards the edges, this will help prevent air bubbles from forming.  If you do trap any air, use a very sharp X-acto knife to make a slit running along the grain into the air pocket - press it flat with the roller.

   Thanks, All: Now I know I can use this material, when I started reading so many negitive comments about PSA veneer I figured I had wasted my money.
