Here's the second article of the VENEER series.
*links to all articles are listed at the end of this article*
This article explains how to fill small areas
of missing veneer for painted furniture
Below is a missing bit of veneer I am going to work on.
I start by sanding any loose bits away.
I made a nice big fat centipede of wood filler.
I gently flatten out the filler, over-filling the area.

I let it harden really good, a whole day worked best.
I needed it to be solid because now I am going to sand it smooth.
I sanded the edges too.
Then I was ready to paint and I was finished.
If you need to fill an area on a piece you are not painting, wood filler does come in different wood
colors or you must fill the area with a new piece of veneer.
Usually that is done by cutting out a squared shape so a
new squared piece of cut veneer will fit snugly.
