Ron's RCA T7-5 Cabinet Rescue
#13

Thank you John! Icon_biggrin

I'm not sure if I have the know-how to tackle this either Icon_crazy but I'm not letting that stop me. Icon_smile

Oh, and some of you are going to cringe when I say this, but I have made an executive decision on how to attach the new veneer to the left side:

Contact cement.

I've used it before, many years ago, on a large sheet of veneer which had come off one side of a 38-116XX cabinet. It worked out very well, especially for my first time using it and not really knowing what I was doing.

I've decided on contact cement because I do not have any good way to clamp the veneer down from all angles if I used carpenter's wood glue. I don't see any way of avoiding it.

So...a can of the stuff plus a rubber roller are on their way to me from Amazon.
