Now, if I can only get DH to help me re-do the veneer on my Davis Vertical Feed from 1886, my Singer VS 2 from 1889, and my 1913 Singer Sphinx cabinet! Glenn any secrets we need to know? We already got the veneer.

Oh and thank you guys again on your compliments on the cabinet. I read them to Hubby!
It depends on how much veneer you need to replace. If it is small areas that need to be replace, there is a technique for this. If it is a large area such as a complete top replacement that is another technique. And then if you are restoring and want to maintain the antique value then there is another technique using hyde glue in a hot glue pot( you really don't need a glue I can show you how to to this in a mason jar). Basically you cut out the bad, clean the area, cut a new piece to fit and glue in with hyde glue, contact cement or any good cabinet makers glue like weldwood. You Know the yellow wood glue, brand is not important. You can post a picture of the cabinet and I will be able to help you thru it. Glenn
