I did the front. I used a ratchet tie down strap around the entire cabinet to pull the veneer tight. I then used carpenters shims (come in packs for leveling doors etc.) and wedged them from the bottom and the top of the strap to further tighten the veneer. Amazingly, it worked. After doing the front veneer, I did the same, blue tape, syringe process on the bottom (seen above as the top) but used furniture clamp instead of the tie down strap. The lighter rectangle is where the light over the sink had kept the birch from darkening. http://www.wallybyamholiday.com/wallybyamholiday/Cabinetry.html#7 1534289c-3d46-4fda-b452-f4761d196bdb http://www.wallybyamholiday.com/wallybyamholiday/Cabinetry_files/Media/_MG_6587.jpg?derivative=thumb http://www.wallybyamholiday.com/wallybyamholiday/Cabinetry_files/Media/_MG_6587.jpg?derivative=micro <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_119_34"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption">OK, I skipped a lot of steps here.
