updawg Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 haha a nice planer would do in a woodshop to evenly take off the veneer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg928gts Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 You don't need to take off the veneer. Polyurethane construction adhesive will work great for re-glueing. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bchulett Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Sorry to hear of the carnage... using a belt sander can be risky. When I was a kid my dad decided he wanted to refinish the natural birch cabinets in the kitchen. The first mistake was deciding to refinish... the second was to listen to the so-called experts at the hardware store. My dad was a perfectionist... after thoroughly sanding the varnish he went on to oil-stain the Birchwood cabinets in Walnut, which turned out very blotchy. After he was completely done the cabinets looked like crap. He found out the Birchwood had been coated with some sort of clear sealer that impregnated the wood. To salvage the job it took gallons of Jasco, carefully scraping with a putty knife and hand sanding multiple layers to remove the newly stained Birchwood and sealer... I know, I had to help. I guess the moral of the story is use extreme patience... and get rid of the belt sander. There's no satisfactory substitute for hand block-sanding. BTW, I finished my Birchwood Corns in black... and used spray cans. You could never tell I did these in my garage without gun and a booth...
