True words Stan.Originally Posted by stan
I'll echo Waz. Too true Stan, too true. I've had a couple - sand back and start again - episodes on previous builds so it's not new ground for me. This one hurts a bit more. Picked the piece that looked the best for that side hoping to only need to do it once. Lesson here is to make sure the veneer is dry enough, didn't have the tool for measuring moisture content and thought it felt dry enough. Nope.
Tried DB's fix. Wet the area with a damp paper towel for 5 minutes then heated it with the soldering iron, in the way you would steam out a dent, hope that is what you meant DB. Did manage to shrink the ridges a bit but they are still there and now all are split. Looks like the splitting was going to happen anyway.
Will need to come off after all. Chalk it down to experience.
