Cathedral Top Repair - Advice Needed
#3

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the reply. I had thought about re-wrapping completely and have done a couple in the past. The veneer on this cabinet,though, is in good physical condition except for this issue. I may have to resort to a full re-wrap, but hoping for a more targeted "fix" on just this spot if possible. I wasn't thrilled with results of my past re-wraps.

Since posting, I've had an idea of maybe using a Dremel w/thin cutting wheel to cut out the 3" damaged area (but of just the deck and not veneer) from inside the cabinet, repair it -- as well as repair the veneer still in place on the cabinet -- then replace the deck piece from underneath. May be impossible, and still would have to "soften" the glue to separate the pieces, but considering if no better alternative.

Any more thoughts/advice are appreciated.

Joe
