Barry,

No help on the technique but would like to pose a rhetorical question.

Unless you will be doing the whole project yourself, and even then when you
add the cost of the veneer, glue, clamps etc etc (unless you all ready have
the stuff from some other project) you fast approach the cost of purchasing a
replacement dash.

On my TR250 I took my dash to a fellow who has done a lot of furniture
refinishing for me. I had a couple of places where the veneer was bad, by the
time he either cut out the places and replaced, or reveneered the whole thing
I could buy a new one - (which is what I did)  

Now I know I was paying for his time and profit - but still sometimes it
seems to make more sense to go with a new Repro than fiddle with repairing
restoring old parts.

Just my 2c
