Lar,
Have you ever done any plastic laminating with contact cement, a router & a mill file?

If you have then you are prepared for veneering, except you absolutely get only 1 chance to index the sheet correctly. With Formica/plastic laminate it's fairly easy to remove with lacquer thinner and try again.

With self-adhesive 3M PSA veneer you only get one chance. Go watch some videos, which I assume are out there.

Best of luck!

Howard
