All clamped up

The amount of detail works just to do some classic car trims amazes me,its process after process to even get close to a decent looking job.

This is one of the three bur walnut dash panel trims,last refurbished about seventeen years back,so no complaints.



A minor repair on the one lower corner,the edges had all risen,so an application of our water proof PVA glue (german import) was required.The secret is the new and clean  clear plastic,I keep a roll handy for just this job.


All that work just to get to the stage where we can start sanding.Check the final job out later ,was it worth the effort?



Better for some (many) coats of twin pack high gloss lacquer.It can cure during the night and go for a trial fitting to the metal dash panels tommorrow,thats one of the panels in the picture.
