Salvaging Used Wood Veneer

Video Transcript

A lot of times in a piece you'll find a drawer maybe like this one. Not like the last one where the veneer was just maybe a small piece. Pretty much all the veneer is still here, but through the ages you can see the veneer's coming loose all along the edge. Still secure in the middle, it's just the edges that are loose. So another process we can use is to get some glue under there and work--use the heat of an iron. What the iron will do is it will heat the glue up and let it cure real quickly so we an get a good bond right here. What we're doing is saving the veneer because any time you can save old veneer and put it on, you keep the piece original, you keep everything that was there before, and you're just repairing it so it can live on it's life and, you know a new, under a new circumstances with the old parts that it still had, and the way we're going to do that is with the iron. So the first step we're going to do is to clean up underneath here as best we can the old dirt and grime that's accumulated here over the years. So that's basically the first step involved in salvaging the old veneer, to re-secure it to the original, the old drawer face. In the long run, after we get through the finishing process, this will make the drawer look a lot better because we don't have any cut lines, we don't have any patches. Everything here is original.
