Veneer Repair Walkthrough..
#5

   

   

The first photo shows the veneer when the clamp was removed. You can see it isn't a perfect fit. It's close enough for government work, so it's good enough for me..

The second photo shows the veneer after I trimmed and sanded it. I like to use a dremel with a cutting wheel to snip off the edges. I try to get pretty close. Then I finish it up with 400 grit sandpaper. If you don't have a dremel, use an exacto knife. Score the veneer deeply, then snap it off.

Once the edges are nice and even, I go to work on the surface. The idea is to sand the new veneer down until your sandpaper starts hitting the cabinet. Use a little sanding block. Anything will work, as long as it's perfectly flat. I use a metal ruler with sandpaper taped around one end. You want to get everything nice and flat.
