Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Paper-backed 20 mil veneer is a good choice for wide doors and panels because it resists checking and telegraphing. Keep the substrate unsanded and clean, roll adhesive evenly, and press from the center out. Balance the back of the panel with a backer sheet to keep it flat.
Wear cut-resistant gloves and eye protection when trimming veneer; blades and sheet edges are sharp.
