I have used epoxy (west system) for gluing veneer. The trick is to use a
filler so that the glue does not soak through and you must press the veneer
until the epoxy sets. Mine was a hatch top and it has now spent a year
outside.

I used 1088 ply and glued a fitch (?) of excellent looking vaneer over
the top with elmers waterproof glue. I spread both surfaces and let
them dry then ironed the vaneer on. I looked perfect, very
professional and with the varnish was rather impressive though I say
it myself. So up it goes on the done-for-now shelf in my damp shop
which I use to simulate a boat environment. I take it down to fit 3
months later and discover large bubbles where the vaneer has lifted. I
tried another piece with west system as a glue but it soaked through
the vaneer in blotches and looked awful. thanks again.
