Quick shop cam clip patching veneer. A good technique using masking tape to make a pattern for the replacement patch. Music credit: Nirvana - Come as you are
I love these tutorials so much better than the traditional YT ones where the persons just yaps and yaps and yaps! Get in with it already! Awesome music and peaceful demo. Lol
David, you don't know how much I appreciate this video. My mother just died 2 months ago and I inherited a 200 year old child's rocker that all of her siblings and all of us kids used when we were little. My grandfather saved it from a pile of junk at the dump almost 100 years ago. It was in pretty bad shape. He had to repair the seat and it looks to me like he also replaced part of the back of the chair. My mother, years ago, saw two pieces of veneer were coming loose and she finished tearing them off. Nooooooooooooooo! Anyhow, I need to repair that now. I picked up some brown oak and should be able to match the stain. I was ready to replace the whole back where the veneer was missing before I found your video. Your video is going to make all the difference in the world when I set out to make those veneer repairs. Thank you!
Thanks Patte, I usually stain and then have to go over the patch with more stain or with some touch up powder mixed with the finish to blend and then when dry re coat with finish. Sometimes you luck out and the stain will bled in good enough. I use the six foot rule. If you don't notice the repair from six foot leave it alone.
Such a Brilliant technique! Thank you for sharing, I am about to begin patching the veneer on my moms beloved waterfall table so out big family can get more use out of it.
Thank you for sharing. This technique was so clever. Lot's of handy ideas. I have my dad's old veneer sideboard that is in need of some very much TLC and I will certainly be taking your ideas on board for when I 'try' to restore it
Holy shit...! This is awesome! I just bought two vintage Singer sewing machines that I want to restore for my dad and one of them is a portable machine with a case that has missing chunks of veneer where I think the handle used to be. Hopefully, I can patch the holes now without replacing the whole thing. Thanks!
Hello,In this clip this I used Cyanoacrylate (crazy glue) with an excellerater sprayed on the wood without the glue. You must be fast when doing it his way and wear cheap gloves in you have sensitive skin. . You can use wood glue or epoxy as well but these the veneer should be clamped or taped down till glue is dry.Dave
these videos are great for those of us who are DIY-lacking. I "rubbed" off the veneer on my headboard/footboard getting the mattress off...can I re-stain? Thanks...I love the videos that are straightforward and not complicated...and thanks for saying what you used....
another way to do the repair is to bevel the existing edge and the edge that will "match" up to the existing edge.... then overlap by 1/8 inch, clamp, and then sand the area flat... if done right you will not have the visible line..............I use the corner of my porter cable 1/4 sheet sander to do the beveling. place the 1/4 sheet slightly off the pad.
Thanks for sharing.. I do veneer repair the same way.. Keep the these shop cam videos coming, How is everything... Hope all is well. Take Care, Michael Frey
Thank you for cutting to the chase! I have little patience for the long set up/explations/jokes/personal stories, this is great! Can you tell me what glue you used and that spray and what that was for? Other than that...perfect.
FYI for people still wanting to know what type of glue/spray used in this video - I found the below combo pack with both items on Amazon for $10.99. Not sure if this is the exact brand he used but based on some other comments I read here and a bit of googling, this is the product I ended up buying: "Bob Smith Industries BSI-157H Maxi Cure/Insta-Set Combo Pack (3 oz. Combined)" - www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0166FFCHS/ref=crt_ewc_title_dp_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
I have a sewing table to mend. There’s an edge piece that’s moved sideways and sheared the top veneer in a long row of splinters. I could remove the veneer here and stick in a new strip, but problem, the edge of the table top is veneered all round with a veneer strip too, ie I don’t have a solid wood edge like you show here. It’s got bent wood veneer corners and everything. How do I fix that? Could I take the edge veneer off and successfully replace it, d’you think?
Hi, can you tell me where can I get the strip that you affixed into the missing veneer hole; and by what name should I call it when I ask the store guy to get it for me, or to show me where is at within the store?Believe it or not, I come from a long line of English carpenters, but I went into another field, hence my ignorance on this matter. Thanks
That was a terrible job brother. That straight grain mahogany is the easiest type to patch too so you could have taken your time and used contact cement and over lapped it a little so it fell into place when you sanded it. Better luck next try.
There's only one glue that cures that quickly: cyanoacrylate. The spray was what they call an "activator". It greatly accelerates the polymerization of the glue. Just be sure to put the glue on one part and the activator on the other -- when they touch -- bam!
+CHICKBOO TESLA the table or whatever that thing was was already damage is patch work not make it back to original condition once your furniture get damage like that there is not way to back to "original state" unless your find exact wood material and just replace the whole top part.
My friend when it comes to cost some people don't mind a patch if when stained it blends in and not noticeable. I would assume you are very rich and would pay extra.

Thanks..I am going to try this and I agree, your choice in music actually enhances video!!
Awesome work! Love the radio station as well. :)

Thanks - very useful video & will follow your advice. Super helpful.
I know this old video but it is just what I need thank you
Sounds like my garage on weekends
these videos are great for those of us who are DIY-lacking. I "rubbed" off the veneer on my headboard/footboard getting the mattress off...can I re-stain? Thanks...I love the videos that are straightforward and not complicated...and thanks for saying what you used....
nice work, David! helpful video.
Definitely using this method. Thanks.
Love the music!

Like the background music, Jethro Tull. Oh the video is OK as well.
Jethro Tull-Aqualung, God, that song brings back memories!!!
Very impressive!
Cheers
Mike
good job, will use that technique, thanks
nice 1. good tip with the masking tape.
That was amazing
Thank you for cutting to the chase! I have little patience for the long set up/explations/jokes/personal stories, this is great! Can you tell me what glue you used and that spray and what that was for? Other than that...perfect.
so where is the reply, great to the point diy but the items you used could have been written on the screen or something

Abby Gross THANK YOU.
AWESOME!. I can even do that. I sure which we could have seen the epoxy or the glue you were using, though.
Thanks
Me too!
Wonder Allen, it looks like he used a medium thick CA (superglue) and the spray is an activator that makes it set almost instantly.
Thanks Puttz
Thanks Veeler

I LIKED THAT

Great! Thanks!
what kind of glue did you use and what grit for the sand paper?
perfect!
Brilliant job but what was the glue you used ?
hi! need to know were can get the scraper that you plug in wall!
It kind of looks like you sanded the edge of the table/desk and the new patch at an angle and ate it away down to the substrate.
Hmmm.... i use plunge router with template and cut perfect depth so you don’t have to sand that much ..... seems like you had a sand through bro
What kind of adhesive are you using David? Water activating it, I assume...?
my thought too was that wood glue or something else and the spray was it water or...
I got a dresser drawer that has a chip on the corner of drawer
How to repair when these is no piece to reattached?
Tullvana!
💞💞💞💞💞
I could work with this, simplifies things a lot. Hey if you didn’t know it, Hyezmar (google him) is offering his woodworking book!
no!! don't scrape ACROSS the grain! you lucked out. scrape WITH the grain or you'll pop out the sub-layers then have to glue THEM back, too!
That was a terrible job brother. That straight grain mahogany is the easiest type to patch too so you could have taken your time and used contact cement and over lapped it a little so it fell into place when you sanded it. Better luck next try.
Didn't say what kind of glue was used or what the spray was. Not very helpful

Crazy glue from walmart and the spay is a fixer for setting the glue very quickly
How not to patch veneer.
do it yourself , go to Woodprix page and learn how.
poor patch work
One man's lowopinion is not always intelligent but most likely a guess.
+CHICKBOO TESLA the table or whatever that thing was was already damage is patch work not make it back to original condition once your furniture get damage like that there is not way to back to "original state" unless your find exact wood material and just replace the whole top part.
My friend when it comes to cost some people don't mind a patch if when stained it blends in and not noticeable. I would assume you are very rich and would pay extra.
Well that looks awful...
