Hey Tony, I haven't had this issue with glue as yet, but i am sure it will one day. What was the method you used to fix the back, its exceptional! Was the veneer quite thick?

Hi Andy, the veneer is thin very thin i am lucky its come out ok.
What i did was keep at it with Goof Off, then 400grit then 600grit then the synthetic 000 steel wool, i would then timbermate my work, let it dry, sand it back, then wipe some stain on it, if the stain took i knew i had all the glue. There was plastic put in a flaw/hole in the veneer, this i had to dig out with my leatherman and fill then sand, i repeated the process a few times. Going out to do some more sanding now, hopefully the back is done.
Another thing i did was there was a small hairline crack (other than the center seam) in the veneer about 1" long. I fill it with a very waterery solution of timbermate and left it over night, the fibres expanded and closed and sealed the crack perfectly.
I have finished the back, i went a bit darker on the last Red Mahogany dye coat, its still wet in the pic, but its popping nicely now its dry.
Too hot in the shed to do too much, so thats it for today, its beer o'clock.
Onto the front tomorrow, going lighter, might even try a burst or a deep cherry red, see how i feel in the morning.
