    Well done Depicted Minds. Knew you were on a winner there.
    Thanks for the mention and the feedback for mine too guys. It was great fun and a learning experience.
    Main thing I learnt...."Patience, young Skywalker"
    So, any tips on how to get rid of that glue line without sanding through the veneer or scratching the hell out of the top?

    Great effort ILR and glue lines are hard to get rid of without causing more damage. In the prep stage 'Goof Off' may have done the trick but now it's all shiny & finished you could risk refinishing the whole top. Whatever attempt to fix it will require more top coats and that begs the question as to where do you stop? Maybe a thin black line over the white bit would not stand out as much and decal transfer paper might be the only thing you could use to get it to stay in place or you could simply leave as is as it looks pretty good all over.
