Frank:
Presumably you'll use contact cement to attach the veneer -- other
glues are too viscous and will wrinkle the thin wood upon absorption.
And when you do press the veneer into place, do yourself a favor and use
a roller. Without one, it's likely you won't be able to avoid leaving
"bubbles" in the veneer, and/or said bubbles will show up later, after the
dash is installed. Ask me how I know.
