Har Har Har...
Anyway, on another note.
Which one is it?
Kirk
Like I said....Ron is the expert. Unless someome else knows for sure.
If there is a decal. Which I think should be there.
Kirk, are you using the veneer repair method where you tightly clamp a slightly oversize piece of veneer and then sand off the excess?
I think Kirk at some point described his method and it was different. The only oversize is the one outside the external wall (bezel) contour, unless you mean this oversize.
Yes,
I am trying this method since it is the face of the radio. If it works well, good!
If not , it is Mikes radio so what the hockey stix do I care!
Kirk
Please take some pictures before the sanding; that's a technique I've been wanting to try.
Unclamped, sanded with block, and they look pretty darn good!
Toner will hide all the little imperfections.
A few more repairs and the face is DONE!
Here are the pics:
Very nice
Good work Kirk!! Very time cosuming I would think. I dont have the paients for that I do not think.
Almost done with the face.
Gluing number 5 today and a last one tomorrow if I have time.
It looks so....helpless
Face is done and stripped.
The stripping was a pain. For some reason the thinner was not working.
Had to sand most of it off.
Next is to re-attach the arch to the front and then try to repair all the veneer and the gouges and the punctures.
Any ideas on those?
I will try water and the heat gun first to see if I can get any to raise.
Here she is now.
Looks like new. New unpainted IKEA furniture
I could always paint it. That would make the repairs easier. Could use wood filler all over and give it a nice white and black lacquer finish.....
Should I? could I? Would I?
Ok back to work,
