    Hey John, looks like a great kit! Be very careful sanding the veneer - it's very thin and there's a good chance you'll sand through. When that happens it sucks the big one. Any chance you could post a picture of the "pits" in the surface? Maybe some steam might be a possibility to raise them out, but hard to say without looking at them.

    cheers,
    Gav.

    HI Gavin,
    Thanks for the reply. Pic attached, probably doesn't show it very well, actually it makes it look slightly worse than it is.
    I spent maybe a 2-3 minutes sanding with each grit? I'm new to this whole sanding lark.
    As i mentioned, the surface is very smooth, so maybe once I apply the stain etc. it won't be as noticeable?
    Thanks again
    John
