What are some tips for repairing chipped veneer?
I am fixing up and old upright piano (70 years old) that has very nice walnut burl veneer on it. There are several areas where large chips are taken out of it. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to patch them? Can I score the old veneer with a razor knife, heat it, and pry it off with a wood chisel? I have several sheets of walnut burl veneer I can use to make new pieces. Thanks!
Except for the first answer, the moron that said rip it out, I think the other responses all offer something of value. I'll let you folks vote for it.
I have done this before. They make a special hard resin it comes in sticks and in various colors. you melt the sticks with a hot knife and spread the hot resin onto the chip. then you can very carefully touch it up with stain if the shade is a little off. I don't know where to get the sticks try sherwin williams or a cabinet finishing supplier like Mohawk. They last for ever that's why I can't remember where we got them but it's very strong repair and if you take your time won't be noticable.
