Sorry, no pics this morning. The batteries in the camera are dead. I removed the clamps and smoothed oput the inner veneer using some coarse sandpaper on a sanding block. I also removed some dried glue. After I decided the surface was prepped well enough I straightened the edge of the veneer patch until I was satisfied with the fit. No-it's not perfect. I'm not that good. I covered the entire surface of the area to be patched with glue and clamped the new veneer in place using a board to spread the force of the clamps. Tomorrow i hope to have batteries in the camera. I'll remove the clamps then and trim the veneer to fit. There are a few more areas on the dress guard needing repairs but the big part is done.
