Super helpful - thank you!

Thank you!

Those look amazing! Congrats. I assume the MDF also gave you a smoky and consistent surface for applying the veneer? How thick was the MDF, did it seem to add much size/weight (as you know, the speakers are pretty giant already), and how did you to fix the MDF to the speaker surface? Thanks again for all that helpful information!

Thank you, Dave. Yes, I do ultimately want to get them veneered. Duratex is a pretty thick texture (and not the look I’m going for), so I agree that would be a bad move. I just wonder if there is an intermediate approach that would look good and cover the bare wood + bondo look - it’s pretty terrible! Thanks again for the advice!

Hi everyone. I have a pair of very well-loved (read ‘totally beat up’) Lascalas. In preparation for putting a veneer on them, I have had to build up every edge to a right angle as the edges were rounded. I’ve been using Bondo, working for a very long time, and they’re finally starting to look square. 😊 I’m not very skilled at working with veneer, so I’d like to paint them in the interim, until I can get the cash together to have someone veneer them for me. I would be grateful if anyone could recommend a paint (black) and process for making them look nice-ish for now. I saw an earlier thread that had the following picture and would love it if I could get to that place. Thank you!
