How to Glue Wood Veneer Furniture Patch

Okay now we're ready to put in the patch that we've cut. As I mentioned before while I was making this patch it broke in half. But that is going to be okay because the two pieces should fit together and you won't notice it at all. Usually I would use wood glue to do this but in this case I am going to use super glue because it is a lot faster. Woa that's an awful lot. I am going to use super glue and use this business card to spread it around. I am using a type of super glue that is very very slow to dry and it's thicker than your usual super glue. I've got quite a bit on there and I'm going to take some of it off. Okay I got some of that out of the way. You will want to have a rag handy because it looks like some of this super glue is going to squeeze out over the top and you will want to wipe it off pretty carefully. Here is the first piece. That one goes right up here and let me get my glasses so I can see this a little closer. Push this portion of the patch into place. I have left it hanging out just a little bit at the end and we will trim that when we are done. Then I am going to take the second part of the patch and just push it up around that one. Be careful not to get super glue on your fingers if you can and if you do get some super glue on your fingers you can take it off with nail polish. I'm just going to press the patch down as well as I can right in there. Get this piece and push that in as close as I can. Now I'm going to use this material right here which is called zip kicker and it hardens super glue instantly so just a couple of squirts and that glue is going to set up. Get in as close as you can and push the patch down. Sometimes they will try to curl up and as you can see this one is trying to curl up a little bit. Push it down and give it a squirt. I am going to do that on the front part too. Okay so now we have our patch installed. As I said before ordinarily this would be done in a restoration shop because the idea is to make that line, that cut out line as invisible as possible. This will do for now and we are going to wipe it down and push it down and push it down. That's pretty good. It will take a little sanding and a little bit of finish but as you can see if you get right down on it you can see that line. From further away a casual observer won't see that patch at all.
