Thanks as ever David, and the box in the pictures you added looks great!

I wouldn't say "hassles" so much, its all learning for me, but I will repeat until Ive got the method down!

I already have the veneer so stick-ons aren't an option.

With regards the glue bleeding through to the veneers surface, I think one issue I am facing is the glue Im using (in the attached picture), sits in a cold workshop and is quite thick when I come to use it, so despite best efforts to apply a thin layer with a sponge, it is still a challenge. What I might try is keeping it in the house to warm it up, and possibly thin it out a bit with water so I can apply a thinner layer.
