Nathan's Philco 118MX

A few updates:

Glue down lifting front veneer

Both edges of the left front veneer were lifting. Reglued with yellow wood glue.

Front Panel Repair
I used the Mohawk epoxy product to fill the 'bonus' hole in the front panel. The surface of the dried epoxy wasn't 100% smooth so I used some Timbermate (oak color) to fill in the gaps as well as a couple of other gouges. Actually the color is irrelevant for these repairs in the middle of the panel as they'll be covered by opaque black toner.

Side Panel Veneer
The replacement mahogany veneer was delivered today!

I ordered these pieces from Ocooch Hardwoods - they mainly provide thicker pieces for scrollsaw work - but the 1/16" thickness seemed like a good match for the original thickness and they had the appropriate dimensions.

I haven't glued large pieces of veneer before so this will be a learning opportunity. Any advice an adhesive? I've been considering 'Heat Lock' since it seems to be intended for raw veneer like this: http://www.veneersupplies.com/products/B...-Glue.html
Has anyone tried this previously? Other suggestions?
