I am about ready to refinish the dash on the wife's Spitfire resto.  I am
leaning towards using contact cement(Scotch 90 high strength), but thought
I would check to see if anybody has had any experience good or bad with
using it, or possibly a suggestion for using something else if that isn't
suitable.  The dash will still have the original varnish (it won't be
removed) but it will be sanded before applying the adhesive.  I am adding
an oil gauge to the center just because I believe there should have been
one originally.  It should look really nice when done.
The real wood veneer is very thin, approx 1/32nd of an inch thick so I need
something that won't bleed through - plus, anybody have a source for white
transfer letters???  I used to be able many years ago to buy them but with
the advent of computers, transfer type letters are practically obsolete.
