Help I’m trying to save this tablebtop. It was damaged and now some parts are wavery. I sanded it to remove the varnish but I don’t know how to stick the thin layer back.

    Flood that section with thin cyanoacrylate glue, then use a caul( flat board with plastic on the face to keep it from gluing itslf to the table) to press it down. If you dont have clamps that deep, use 2x2s to span over the caul and clamp both ends of each stick. Let it dry overnight. Don’t use accelerator on the glue. In the future, glue the veneer down before sanding.

      Thanks mate! In the meantime, I bought a new sheet of veneer. Looking for a way to remove the old one before I glue the new one…

        No problemo. Sounds like a good job for a nice sharp handplane.
