Hi, Peter, the cabinet was at such a height that I could get a lot of weight on the iron, and you need to move it slowly until the glue melts, and you are happy every corner in particular is stuck down, and then rubbed over with the "veneer hammer".
I sanded the wood with 180 grit in an orbital sander, and wiped with a tacky cloth before application.
