I use veneer for my bracelets and trays. Most of the time I use PVA-glue for veneering. It is safe, easy to spread and economical. But when glueing open-pore species like sapele with PVA, I take an extra step to prevent the glue bleeding. I apply thinned hide-glue to seal the pores and prevent the PVA-glue bleeding through. Without it, the PVA would seep through to the surface of the veneer [1].
