You can source Teak veneer on eBay.
Contact cement in a spray can is an easy way to apply a reasonably uniform thickness. I used to use it for veneering. No longer: it creeps, veneer shrinks and cracks appear. The thickness is not necessarily uniform and might be thick enough so that the new patch will not be flush with the rest.
I’ve used PVA (yellow carpenters glue) but you’re time limited for gluing large areas, the stuff is gummy when sanded, there’s often a residue which shows after varnishing.
Traditional furniture veneer was done with hide glue. Not water resistant. You used to set it in place with veneer irons - like burnishing.
I use epoxy. Can be scraped or sanded clean. Rigid. Clamp with tape, wood blocks and clamps, blocks and spring sticks, ballast.
