Veneer is dried and leveled.
IT is really rainy so I dont think I will get much done but here is what I am up against now.
2 rather annoying issues, one looks like someone hit it with the claw of the hammer and then they turned it around and hit it in another spot.
I will try to moisted the dent and heat it out a little but not sure that will do anything. The puncture will be the hardest repair.
Any suggestions from you all?
