Thanks. Generally get the veneers off eBay.
No problem at all...but like following the guy in front in thick fog, you will have to judge whether I actually know what I'm doing myself. )
- Create a nice flowing join
- Get rid of ALL PVA at the joint line. PVA will not stain and will look white when varnished - it has all got to go.
On the edge join it's easy - just sand along the joint, creating the progressive edge and sanding away the PVA at the join, like this:- If it goes hard in the tub, you can get it completely usable again by adding a bit of water.
- You can decide to use it as a paste - for big holes and cracks - or you can water it down to use as a 'wash' of, for example, you wanted to use it as a grain filler.
It dries hard but is eminently sandable (but wear a mask - it produces a LOT of dust). I don't think the DIY chains stock it, but any builders / joiners / painters merchant should (I got mine from the local Johnstons and Johnstons painters and decorator's branch)
