    Veneer bubble help



    Can anyone give me any tips on how to remove this bubble from the veneer? It’s not really noticeable from the front but I thought I might try and repair it before I carry on with the build.

    what i have done on a previous build is re-glue using a needle and syringe ( about 2bucks at chemist) you can inject either a watered down woodglue or superglue between the veneer and the base wood then clamp down and let set.

    I’ve also gone the needle and syringe method also. The only thing I would add is, “are you staining the guitar?”. If so, might be worth staining first if you feel the glue might inhibit staining? Just a thought.
