Great work!! I haven't yet tried to do that although I've learned to fix chips in veneer. I retired two weeks ago officially so I'll have more time for all this.


I'll echo the comments about flat white paint on trim. Currently trying to sell house. I've scrubbed every bit of trim and still get comments that it looks "dirty" from prospective buyers. Real estate markets seem flat right now and prospective buyers seem few and far between. Sigh...
