How To Repair Damaged Veneer On Furniture (When You Intend To Paint)

So first things first. When I say "repairing" damaged veneer, we're not actually replacing the damaged pieces with new veneer. What we're doing is simply removing the damaged pieces and filling in the missing sections. This will only work if you're planning to paint the piece.
The first thing you'll need to do is remove any loose or bubbling veneer. I use my putty knife to get under the loose sections and pry it off. You can also use a utility knife to cut out bubbled sections if needed.
There are several different products you can use to fill the missing sections once you've removed the damaged veneer. You can read our full tutorial with step by step instructions on our website (direct link below).
For more details and information on the specific products we use, visit our website (link below).
