I suspect this might be a lost cause but I have a 16X which has veneer that has pulled up and the top has started to pull apart beneath(basement storage). Does anyone have any suggestions on how this type of damage can be corrected? I can send pics if that might help. I was thinking of trying to steam and then reclamp but I'm a novice at this and don't necessarily want to cause more damage than already exists. Perhaps a good reference to a cabinet refinishing book/site?

Thanks,
Kevin
