If it’s old enough to be installed with hide glue, a hot iron will release the glue.

Hot heat gun, wide chisel to work under a loose portion of the veneer. Maybe get some water under there to loosen if it's newer glue.

I'd use a heat gun before I'd ever even think of using a hot gun.

Thanks folks. It's probably hide glue since it's a quite old church. over 100 yrs.

The veneer that has been affected by water damage scraps off pretty easily, other more stubborn and the rest is down right difficult. Any methods to try?
