Peter: The bubbles _should_ get pressed out the edges of the veneer by the atmosphere pressure.

A vacuum cleaner likes to have airflow to keep the motor cool. If you use one you will need a non return valve and switch it off after the air is out of the bag.
If you are using a proper vacuum pump many cabinets can not resist the pressure and will be crushed by the atmosphere. A good vacuum pump at sea level can easily apply five hundred kilograms per square foot!
