<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 507182, member: 78"]Hi,</p><p> I have stripped a lot of veneer pieces but I have always used a methyl stripper it is faster but more dangerous to your health. It is best used with very good ventilation. Any loose veneer can be reglued. I always fill in missing pieces with shellac or wax. I have used old veneer but it is difficulty to find pieces that are the same thickness. New veneer is so thin it will not work on older pieces. Old pieces will show their dings and such. To replace them is like doing a face lift on an older woman. I think it was Helen Hays that said I worked hard to get this wrinkled and I am not going to get them fixed.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
