Smart-Resins Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Nice tip there. I have a old roll of veneer from a old workplace that I want to be using on one soon! quick tip, a nice sharp pair of scissors or good razor saw will help get the "boards" nice and smooth on the ends. You are on a great start into the hobby! Jody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
