veneer question


Hi, I have a question for the wood workers among you: my Dunlavy SC-V is finished with cherry veneer. At the speaker's long edge (at the rear) this veneer shows a bit of loosening from the MDF surface. This happens almost at the entire length of the edge. Is it a common situation for these speakers? What can be done to prevent further deterioration? Thank you in advance.

Sometimes glue which has come unstuck can be restuck with an iron. I just place a few sheets of packing paper between the sole of the iron and the loose veneer. The heat from the iron remelts the glue.

If that doesn't get it done, you might try a 5-minute epoxy spread thin, and a roller to continuously press down the loose veneer until the epoxy sets.
