Veneer repair

[zippy500]

My veneer on the dash has come unstuck in one area and a small split has appeared, next to one of the vents. What is the best stuff to stick it down with. I was going to use super glue. Any better options?

have you thought about araldite? might use that for the same problem on my Griff.

but be prepared not to be happy with the job that's my problem I'm contemplating replacing the whole dash now!!!!

I repaired mine with super glue but Woodlift in chessington do a great job of replacing the veneer

Are they on the web and how much do they charge - the veneer around my stereo has faded in the sunlight.

I typed woodlift chessington into google and this was the first hit: www.ccdata.com/browse/Specialists-Other-Wood+Restorers!Polishers

...but the numnber given is unobtainable and BT's directory enquiries Web site has no entry for them in Chessngton or London...

A good quick and dirty fix is to use double-sided carpet tape. U can pick it up in any diy store and it is a lot less messy than superglue etc. Worked for me.
