I typically order my veneer stuff from Constantine's, and the glue/thinner is their house branded stuff. This veneer was fresh, and extremely flexible, so it went right on without any special treatment. While you can get away without using the glue thinner, you risk your raw glue clumping, which translates out to a lump in your finished piece. This is the first piece I have ever completely redone the wood on, and I am pretty happy with the results.

BTW, the wood on the face does have a pretty bad color mismatch, despite the fact that they were adjacent to one another when I cut them from the sheet. Oh well, we'll try to match them up during the staining process.
