A thin veneer sheet has a habit of wrinkling when wet, and PVA is quite wet and dries slowly. Whilst PVA could be used and can be used (I have used it), I don't believe it to be 'ideal', as in, the 'go to' glue for veneering.
*other opinions and experiences are available

A bit less pva on the veneer, let it semi-dry on both surfaces. thin cloth cover & a cool iron over the top.

I’ve just learned that the correct saying is
“To the manner born” and not “to the manor born”
I always assumed it was to do with being Lord of the Manor.

I`ve learnt over the years to sit back and wait for something to happen as it invariably does....
Won`t be long before someone responds here and I`ll learn something new
You mean you already knew about the Romanian tachographs?
I always assumed that it had something to do with Penelope Keith.
@Mad Doug Biker this would probably have made more sense if I'd quoted @Beebo in post 21. 😂

What, Romanian Tachographs?
That was Peter Bowles, although wasn't he supposed to be Hungarian in To The Manor Born?

That I really like watching airline cockpit view clips on YouTube - also, I hadn't realised that so many women pilot these gravity defying behemoths.

I learnt today that the emblem that features on the lower half of Lord Patel’s coat of arms, which I took to be some sort of wheatsheaf, is in fact a representation of four asiatic lions and is the state emblem of India.

That my hearing is "normal for a man of my age". It's nice to know that at least one thing about me is normal
