Gluing & Cleaning Wood Veneer

Now, what we want to do is lift our veneer, scrape with a razor blade, a chisel, any kind of knife you can get in there. I'm using the back edge of the razor blade because it's kind of square and blunt. It allows me to scratch off some of this old residue, old glue and dust and dirt that's gotten in there over time. Once we get it fairly secure, we want to blow out the old, built up grimy stuff and apply our new surface of glue. Again, here's where we're going to use our knife, the flat blade artist's knife to smear the glue in there. Push it back as far as it'll go. Then we want to put down pressure just with our fingers to push the glue out. Any excess that's in there, we want to get it to come out now. Alleviates any bubbles that might be building up inside and give us a problem later. So just smoosh it around in there till you get all the excess coming out the edges. When you see it coming out the edges, you know you've got just about the right amount of glue in there. Again we want to keep all the old glue off, keep wiping it and keep it clean, get it ready for the ironing. If you look in the crack now, you can see there's still residue of glue but most of it's been squished around till we've got a nice, even layer of glue.
