I am planning to replace all my kitchen cabinets with quartered Sapele cabinets and Bird’s eye maple plywood panels for the cabinet doors and some of the drawer fronts. I have a vacuum press set up for making the ¼” panels. I have read in several books that when veneering plywood panels, you must apply veneer to both sides simultaneously to keep the panel from warping. These techniques are always in reference to raw (no backing) wood veneer. If paper backed, i.e., a melamine paper/resin type backed veneer or 2-ply real wood veneer is used, can you apply it to only one side of ¼” plywood without risk of warping? Would using plastic resin glue instead of aliphatic glue help in keeping the panel from warping?
