Advice for sanding veneer?
Hey everyone
I've now got a Necchi and a Borletti that both have decorative veneer on their cabinets. Different colours and patterns of veneer have been used in combination to give a decorative effect. Both of them have the usual kind of damage: been in the shed and not looked after; spots of paint; rings of grease and stuff from having things put on them, as well as flaking/perishing varnish.
So I've had a go at giving a test piece a light sand with some fine 220 grit sandpaper and it looks nice and smooth and takes the old flaky varnish off, but then I'm left with the stains and water damage stuff. I'm presuming that I can't keep going to try and sand this off as I risk sanding through the veneer, or weakening it too much. Any thoughts or experiences with this? I'll post pics when I can. TIA!
