Re: Veneer repair.
When faced with missing sections of veneer, I usually put a piece of paper over the missing piece and rub with a pencil to create an exact pattern of what I need to cut.
I then cut it, leaving the back edge long, to be finish cut flush with the edge with a razor blade after the glue dries.
Bubbles in the middle of a veneer are easily fixed from your local pharmacy.
Get a syringe from your pharmacist with an 18 or 20 guage needle and fill it with slightly thinned glue, insert the needle with the grain, pointing into the bubbled area and inject as you pull the needle out, spreading the glue under the veneer. Then simply clamp it so the veneer is pressed tightly back to the base wood.
