    Any lazy/easy way to fix peeling veneer??

    Have a 40yrs old homemade metregon speaker, some of the wood venners on top and curved front start to peeling/bubble up(maybe caused by water )also the front curved panel where the verneers matched also started to peel.

    Any LAZY way to re-glue them back and really not going to remove the old veneer and put a new veneer on? I know the new veneer will look good but it's a big job for me,(take ot the old/sanded/stain the new veneer and match the 40yrs old wood colour).

    Thanks again

    With a syringe, wood glue(You might need to thin it) and an iron.

    Be careful not to make burn marks with the iron.

    The slow approach will win the race here

    Definately start out with fresh new glue, aliphatic resin, thin it with some distilled water, Mix well, use as little water and glue as possible, to moisten the inner wood fibers, then using some wax paper, and then some thin strips of bendable wood clamp this. The wax paper may adhere to any glue that may seep out but that is why you will use as little as possible. If it does stick you will need to sand and use steel wool to remove. Oh, and if I did not mention it already use as little glue water mixture as possible.
