Help I’m trying to save this tablebtop. It was damaged and now some parts are wavery. I sanded it to remove the varnish but I don’t know how to stick the thin layer back.

    I’m sure someone with better skills and knowledge will answer, but to me I’m afraid that looks like the veneer has gotten wet and come away from the substrate (and split into the bargain) You could try glue and pressure to get it back down, but otherwise I think you’d have to put on a whole new veneer. I don’t believe it really ‘fixes’ very well.

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news :(

      Yeah, don’t worry, it seemed like a longbshotbwhen I posted. I might try the gluing thing first and figure out what to do next if it doesn’t work.
