The only thing wrong with the Evo Stick is that its final. Get it wrong or the veneer ripples dont pull down, and they often dont, then you cant get the stuff off for another try. Also, for a restorer in the future its a write off. But it doesn't sound like a valuable set so perhaps not much to lose. And I have done it and it worked.

Did you know you can now get an Evo Stick that allows slip when you bring the surfaces togther? Then pressure causes glueing to take place. As said make sure the under surfaces are clean, all old veneer removed and wiped over several times with hot damp cloth to get rid of all old glue. Then I would give then a final sand. Good luck.
