How to flatten wrinkled veneer?
#7

Replace it? I see no reason for that. The pictures show some minor bubbling. The slit method can be good but if you have not done it, it can be tricky. The injection method is better but you will need a drain slit either way, just not as big.


I had that on my 90 arch and I fixed it with the inject method. Iron method is also good when using titebond 2 but it should be applied to both surfaces, let dry and then iron. You cant do that here though.

The drill hole is repairable but if you want to veneer the top then Get rid of the veneer, fill, sand, Use the titebond method and done. Just remember, just enough glue to tack the surfaces. If you add too much glue you will get even worse ripples.

I had someone with no clue about radios, use my 19LZX speaker cabinet as a chopping block! They even cut out part of the side molding to make it fit where they wanted it! What a maroon!
