Don't know about veneer softener, but it was suggested to put a small amount of fabric softener in the water to me, and my wenge bindings bent as easily if not easier then my mahogany sides

When I flatten my veneers, I use a small amount of glycerin with water, about 10 parts water to 1 part glycerin, and spray it on with a spray bottle. In the U.S., I get glycerin at a drug store.
