Veneer

Loose. Carefully bend veneer away from its base and scrape out old glue. Apply Weldwood plastic resin glue or Elmer's waterproof glue and press veneer back in place. Cover with wax paper, then a piece of wood. Clamp or weight. Wipe off glue that oozes out from under veneer.

Broken or missing. Buy new veneer of matching wood. With very sharp knife, cut out broken veneer in a rectangle or diamond. Be sure cuts are clean and straight. Scrape out old glue. Cut new veneer to fit hole exactly. Apply Weldwood plastic resin glue or Elmer's waterproof glue and set patch in place. Cover with wax paper and weight down for 24 hours. Then sand patch level with surrounding veneer and apply matching stain.

Blistered. If wood is stiff and brittle, cover with damp rags until it becomes more flexible. Slash blister with a sharp knife, cutting with the grain. Lift edges carefully and squirt or spread Weldwood plastic resin glue or Elmer's waterproof glue underneath. Press down. If edges overlap, trim one to match the other. Wipe off excess glue, cover with wax paper and weight down.

Scratched, dented, etc. See furniture, wood.
