Glue for cabinet skins?
What type of glue is recommended for gluing cabinet skins to a photo finish end panel? The skin has a plywood back with veneer on top. Spray adhesive? Contact cement? It's in a very small powder room.

Contact cement sounds like the logical choice but you need to make sure it won't soak thru or eat the finish you are working with.

What are these skins made out of? If they are veneer with a phenolic backing, contact cement will work well. If it is just veneer with a paperback, I am reluctant to recommend using contact cement. Though I would imagine these skins are meant to be put on like that. It is important to make sure you don't put too much contact cement on. Buy a roller made specifically for that. I think the big box stores sell them. Use a one of those cheap throw away brushes to get into areas the roller doesn't reach. I don't want big blobs or a thick layer of glue.
