Hi,
What a superb and informative video "How wood veneer is made" Lawrence; many thanks for adding it; I've just been enthralled as I watched it full length.
You mentioned using strap clamps Lawrence and we both agree these are very useful; for those unfamiliar with such straps I noticed the following video showing straps in use.

The honeycombed former's being used are totally new to me and how useful they are being so easily adjusted to size of curve being laminated. I have a number of clamps similar to the two placed on top with the turned wooden handles but I don't like using them; I also have a number of the plastic quick acting clamps shown being applied and these are simply brilliant being one handed whilst applying lots of pressure. I bought a number of these plastic clamps a while ago whilst they were on sale at our local Aldi store; these are my favourite clamps and I have them in two sizes.
There are many brands of PVA glue Joe as you already know; Poundland sell PVA glue as do most craft outlets; PVA is available from just about every DIY or builders merchants; it is very cheap as seen here at Screwfix;

David mentioned Titebond and I'm amazed just how many different adhesives Titebond manufacture; there appears to be an adhesive for just about any application and the one I'm interested in for veneering is;

I'll remove the clamps from the cabinet after dinner unsure as to what awaits me but fingers crossed all will be well allowing me to move the job towards finishing.
Kind regards, Col.
