Have a wonderful old cedar chest but the veneer is coming off.

HellenK on Aug 29, 2013Here are some tips for u, firstly, u need to be careful when sanding cedar for the wood is very soft and mars easily. As I know, many older cedar chests are protected with shellac, which ages with a warm finish that polyurethane cannot achieve. Your choices are critical to the final result. By the way, u also need to be careful of chemical strippers, as some have noxious fumes. So open windows to ventilate the area if using a strong chemical stripper. Not sure if these tips are useful for u or not.Helpful Reply

Sharon Poff on Mar 14, 2016if you need to remove the veneer you may want to see if it peels off easy and if not.. Try a damp towel over the area to remove and let stay for a while.. Should come off.. Also with towel covering area use a steam iron.Helpful Reply
