ES glue line betwen maple veneer..

[Simon Barden]

In hindsight, since folks have been against goof off or acetone there, it's possible that it could have been removed by careful scraping with the edge of a safety razor.

I just feel that there's a big gap between the veneers that has been filled by the glue. I'd probably have tried acetone/Goof Off myself at the very start, but if that had been successful, there would still probably have been a gap between the veneer that needed filling and would still show up as a line. If all the glue at the bottom of the gap had been removed, then you'd probably find the veneer lifting at the edges as well as the glue there would probably have been dissolved.

Not an easy problem to solve after the veneer has been applied at the factory.

Ahhh, yes, I see what you mean now. And yeah, hard one to overcome if that's the case. Masking/disguising definitely the most feasible option.
