Attempting to Preserve Some Old Veneer

Post by dusty »

I am resurrecting an old RV. The task includes preping for paint. The veneer that is on all of the doors and drawers is rough around the edges and the veneer in many locations has come loose from the substrate.

Is there any way that I can repair these separations without simply refacing all of the drawers and doors?

I'll give that a try. I hope it bonds very quickly. I have a lot of work to do and I hope not to spend time holding those splinters in place while the glue sets.

Thin sets quickly(heat speeds it up/no problem out thar I presume).
