what glue is best for exterior wood veneer?
Hi – I have to replace a damaged entry door on a condo – it is a 3-0 7-0 slab door with an ash veneer. Of course it faces south, and it is in Santa Monica. Because it’s a door on a condo, and all of them are done that way, I am not given a choice. What was done originally was a slab door was painted, then the ash veneer glued to the exterior of the door.
So, my question is: what’s the best glue / technique to do this with?
Thanks.

What material is the slab door made from and what kind of paint was originally applied?
If you're relying on a veneer bond to paint, then that bond is only as good as the paint film bond is to the base subtrate. The level of moisture and UV protection of new veneer film finish will also affect the longevity of the veneer and subtrate bond.
