I have an old cigar box that has a thin veneer layer that’s detaching from the wood underneath.. the spot is just a 2x2 spot and you can see some small minor cracks in the vaneer but its not flaking up yet.. so I’m hoping it can be salvaged do you have any suggestions on how to apply some light adhesive or glue underneath the vaneer without damaging the rest of the box.. this is a great video it’s definitely nice to see people restoring these old pieces.. thanks for the content and if you can lend some insight or advice that’s greatly appreciated…

You can use thinned out hide glue that will wipe off the label as you press into place. A warm iron will set the glue in 30 seconds and you can reset with applying heat again until you get it right. White and yellow glue don't do that well. Test the label for being able to be damp wiped and don't use enough glue to squeeze out if you can't clean it. If the paper changes colors when damp, stop. You may have to use contact cement applied thinned and very carefully so as to not get any on top. Follow the directions.

@@OddJobFix thanks I appreciate your input and advice.. I’m probably going to try this method out and see how it works.. I guess you could say the spot is kinda bubbling but not flaky yet and none of the vaneer is damaged aside from two small cracks on either end of the bubbling.. my initial thought was to use some wood glue and press it into and under the vaneer with a credit card or something similar.. then try to add some pressure to the surface but I think the wood glue would discolor the old polyurethane or lacquer finish.. but I’m not really familiar with vaneer finishes and I greatly appreciate your advice on this one..

Instead of putting a sheet of paper down, rubbing a trace image to obtain a template and then using the template to cut out an identical shape from the veneer, wouldn't it be better to simply create a patch (slightly larger than the missing veneer) and then cut the veneer to match your patch? This would ensure that the patch edges more closely align to the missing veneer as its a more direct process (fewer moving parts). Please let me know if you see any issues with this approach.

I think that would be a good way to do it. That's the thing, whatever works best for you. And I think I have done a trial and error approach many times. I can't recall exactly, but typically I will cut a piece from a pattern slightly larger and then sneak it in. Hey, thanks for watching!

I bought some beautiful antique chairs from the 1800s, it looks like they were poorly refurbished, someone tried to reglue the leg joints but allowed so much glue to drip down the legs. I’m not sure what type of glue they used. What would you suggest to take the dried glue off without damaging the chairs? There are also some joints that were not hammered in all the way but they are dried in that position. Would I use this method to loosen them up and then redo the joints?
@OddJobFix
@OddJobFix 5 ай бұрын
Chances are very good that the glue is a modern PVA type so you would follow the steam and vinegar method. AFA surface drips go hopefully there is enough dirt and wax that the glue will pick off with a dental pic, needle, etc. I wouldn't try to dissolve it. GENTLE heat will help, but some might say try ice to make it more brittle. Start with an area that is not too noticeable and experiment. Thank you for watching.

@@anestassia6346 If you want to follow what many restorers do you would use hide glue. Look around there aren't too many brands to choose from. Old Brown Glue is one that YT'r Thomas Johnson uses. He also mixes from powder as do I if there is a big project. Other than that, a real loose fitting joint might need some epoxy. Look for small kits. There's always PVA but that's where you just came from unless it was the dreaded hot craft glue.

While I don't recommend it, you could use epoxy and hope they don't break. It does take a reasonably tight fit of clean wood in the joints to get glue to hold for years. Consider the use of thickeners.

You could mask off so just the cracks are accessable and drizzle a few different compounds in the cracks. You don't say if it's plaster over wood or what. For that I might mix plaster of paris with some white glue and water to a pancake batter consistency or milkshake like and get some in there. A toothpick might help move it around and down. You have to get creative to keep it from running back out. There's more but that's what I do and I can't manage to show everything. Thanks for watching! Hope you gave it a thumbs up.

I love restoration an various projects, but when it comes to keeping the climate out of my house, I would not depend on a surface solution. The only way at this point would be to replace all the old wood. It is full of mold spores and they will do their job when they get a chance.
@OddJobFix
@OddJobFix Жыл бұрын
Very true. If not for spores the forests would not decompose. However, in order to do so moisture content above prox 20% and 02 are necessary. I used the product I mentioned which is a boric sulfate to kill active fungus and this product does not deteriorate as salts are very stable. If water and oxygen reach areas of treated wood the fungi won't grow.. This is in no way an argument because you are correct. Replace if you can. In many instances, replacement is not practical, so alternate methods are available such as epoxies that I would use on a wood boat. But that boat has to be bone dry and again on a house one doesn't always have that condition. I stressed in another video that this system is NOT structural, only cosmetic. Epoxy can be structural done right. Inmy opinion, this product is as good if not better than commonly used auto body filler. YMMV. Thank you for your comment and for watching. I have one more coming which concludes the series and my overall thoughts.
