June 7, 20241 yr Popular Post Someone posted on a refinishing/repair forum that she had a table she'd like to repair. Of the 350 replies, over half recommend more sanding, belt sander, 40-60 grit, hand plane. Sure recipe for blowing thru the veneer. How do I know it's veneer? Look at the edge banding. Solid wood top would never look like that. Look at the grain pattern, it's not edge glued planks. Geez oh pete. Just for reference, strip with chemicals, apply oxalic acid bleach, sand lightly with about 220, and refinish.
