ive always used contact cement for veneer, ive never had a lift.
i did have a miss placement that cost me time, and a new sheet.
if i gotta get used to it what advantage's are there ?

Personally I would never use contact cement with raw veneer. I've seen it form large bubbles on veritical surface exposed to morning sun. Read more than once that solvents can penetrate the wood and soften the contact cement until bond fails. The backing of paper backed veneer may reduce chance of this
something to keep in mind, although ive never had either of those happen.
i usually do use backed veneer in fear of the glue bleeding, but i spray the glue for a perfectly even coat, and it doesnt get compressed into the wood. then after proper set up time i compress it in a vacume bag.
