I see you have gone from using water on the door trim veneer to lubricate the hammer work, to now using the glue as a lubricant. Did you wipe off the excess glue or did it come away with the sanding pre-lacquering?
Bruce, It turned out that using glue was a better lubricant for the Hammer and it also fills any open grain. The process of using the Hammer removes most of the excess glue. You can use the hammer like a squeegee. Sanding pre-lacquering removes any residual. Denis
Very nice indeed! I am going to fix the woodwork on my Saab 9000 soon. Just some scratches in the lacquer though. Any ideas on how to do that? It's quite thick lacquer in a 90's car.
I used "Feast Watson, Mastertouch , Wipe on Polly", but there are other brands. As the name implies you use a soft cloth to wipe on thin layers of lacquer - no brush marks makes it easier to get a good finish.
Excellent work. Beautiful result.
Woodwork is an important feature of English classic vehicles. Time spent restoring the woodwork is worth the effort.

I'm wondering if the saturated glue on the surface would permeate into the fibres to discolour over the years.Overall a very nice job.
Ken, I have no idea. I would assume that the overlay of lacquer would seal the surface to prevent any atmospheric interference.

If the lacquer is thick enough and the scratches are only fine i would probably use automotive buffing compounds to remove them.
A very nice job! What type of lacquer did you use?
