<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 279875, member: 37"]Tough fix. I doubt any of the above methods will work as a permanent repair but maybe worth a shot. However, adding more water runs the risk of further darkening and/or raising of the veneer. A permanent repair will involve cutting in to the bubbles with a razor knife and possibly removing a bit of wood until they will lay flat with pressure. Once you have it to that stage, you need to force some wood glue under the veneer, cover with wax paper, apply a flat 1/4" iron (or glass) plate to it and as much weight as you can stack on to it. Once the glue has dried, you may need to remove excess and sand lightly to smooth the surface completely. You would then probably need to refinish the entire table top to get a complete repair that is as good as can possibly be.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
