Couple of this that may help to extend the life of the unused portion. The epoxy putty is sometimes called ‘tootsie roll.’ Don’t peel the plastic from the whole thing. Using a razor, cut your slice off. Peel the plastic off the slice. This helps preserve the unused portion. The little silver ‘sticker’ can be carefully put back on the end of the unused portion. That veneer looked like edge banding which has heat activated adhesive on the back. It is commonly used on the edge of plywood. You have to find the happy temperature and time, but a household iron can usually be used. Great video. Keep up the super work and energy! Insomniacs unite!
Thank you for providing some great advice! I will definitely do that the next time I use it. Interesting it’s sometimes called a tootsie roll. I learn something new all the time in the comment section. Here’s me comparing it to a cigar haha! I appreciate you watching this video and offering your experience with the product. 😁
Thanks Bethany…I am also trying new ways of repairing veneer. Great job on this piece…and yeah I understand the darker stain. It really does help hide the imperfections. I really like your videos…but I missed the part on here where you blended and hide it with stain. Would have liked to see more of that. And I don’t care how long the videos are. DONT let people tell you they are too long…as much info as you can add is helpful to all of us out here. I do like that you didn’t make us watch you sand…lol. Some repetitive things like sanding every drawer is unnecessary. But you are beautiful and your pieces always turn out beautifully so keep up the good work. And as always I say… THINK POSITIVE!!! Happy refinishing!
What a nice comment! THANK YOU! I appreciate you kindly suggesting what you like and don't care for when it comes to tutorials. I really does help me to create the best type of content for people who are interested in refinishing furniture. Happy refinishing to you as well!
"I've never found a wood putty that takes in stain." I said THANK YOU out loud!! 😂
No jokes from me. Excellent advise. I have also used a similar product made by Mohawk. In a pinch on a painted project, I will use cyanoacrylate glue (super glue) and sprinkle baking soda on it. Adam Savage has an excellent tutorial on baking soda and super glue. The baking soda make it instantly cure, so you can quickly build up layers quickly and sand it the same day. I have had the best results by using a think cyanoacrylate glue and I recommend letting it set up overnight before priming and painting. Depending on what I am trying to fill in or cover up, I have also used bondo, epoxy, various brands of wood putty, sawdust mixed with wood glue, and Mohawk (basically quick wood). I have also patched in a dutchman with wood of similar grain properties. Tom Silva from This Old House has and excellent tutorial on how to patch in a dutchman on an old door. Keep up the good work. I greatly appreciate all the time and effort you put into making these videos.
Thank you so much! I'm just starting to expand my skill level into true restoration work on furniture. There's so much to learn! So many products and different methods. It's like being back in science class. You need to experiment and find what works best for you sometimes.
That's exactly what I needed help on, mine was a small repair on a veneer top coffee table so it was very helpful thanks
I’m so glad this tutorial was helpful to you. Thank you for watching!
You are amazing!! So admirable that you dare to try all these methods!! 🙏🏻☝🏻
Thank you so much! I've learned so much in this line of work just by trying.
I use a lot of wood bondo and all purpose bondo its great for wood work on furniture , filling in missing pieces , holes all kinds of stuff you can do with it
I've only used Bondo to make molds but now I'm psyched to use it on missing veneer. It's a great product! A must have in the workshop.
Love your personality. Great video. Thank you
Thanks for stopping by and watching! 😁
Amazed at your results...great job! Thanks for your video.
Thanks!!! I was pleasantly surprised how well it looks. I think the key to making it look more realistic was putting in those grain marks.
@@madelinejeanantiquesrestor9074 Absolutely. Great work Madeline. Thanks for sharing it!
@@kiwdwks Thank you so much!
(I’m Bethany. My business is named after my daughter Madeline 😊)
@@madelinejeanantiquesrestor9074 Thanks Bethany. Take care.
Thank you for the help.
Any time!
Amazement job
Thanks for watching!
Omg Thank you! Do you know how difficult it is to find any information on fixing veneer?
Well I'm glad this video was helpful!
This is fab. Ty
Thanks! I appreciate you commenting.
Great work!
Thank you! Cheers!
Felt block: Can anyone recommend a felt block and where to buy it? I have a refinishing project coming up, so I am binge watching almost all of Madeline Jean Antiques & Restoration, LLC CZcams videos that apply to what I am doing. Your videos are and excellent resource. Thank you and keep up the good work.

So helpful! 👍
Glad you think so!
The edge banding you showed that you use for repairing the veneer by cutting patches def DOES have a hard core adhesive back. You take an iron too it to heat it up and it sticks to the surface like cement!
Yes I know but I prefer to glue/bondo it in. Makes me feel like it's more secure especially with smaller pieces.
I think gel stain is recommended for veneer repair jobs.
So I have a curved edge I need to figure out?
Great looking piece! Thanks for sharing while you learn.
So, you mentioned it quickly at the end... the Kwik Wood accepted the stain but it took a few applications?
Thanks for watching! Yes the KwikWood did take the stain for the most part. I applied two coats of the stain on top. I did notice one area where I needed to dry brush the stain a little more to make it blend better. I used an artist’s fan brush to do that.
I have not been able to get kwik wood to accept stain.
@First Last My experience also.
You are so pretty!
Oh thank you! Very sweet of you to say!
Looks great! Cool dresser. The explanatory element of your videos is excellent and the time totally appropriate- don't change it. Thanks for your work. P.S. I'm an insomniac too (in a very serious way) but can't begin to approach your well-rested look and chipper demeanor- how in the world do you do it?
Happy you like the video! I guess I'm chipper because I love this line of work. It makes my soul happy to create and design. Very therapeutic for me. Also no man in my life HAHAHA! Less stress that way!
What do you use to seal this when you're done?
I love using General Finishes Gel Topcoat over my stain. Very easy to apply and provides a durable finish.
My dad would mix sawdust with the wood putty for staining
Yes I've heard of that method. Good suggestion!
Wow! You do perform magic
Thank you! The top came out better than I expected. I'll definitely use this product again.
Where do I get the felt block?
I ordered mine off Amazon. Here's the link:

Consider possibly using wood bleach to lighten dark splotches in wood. Keep up the good work!
Good advice. I’ve tried wood bleach. Works great on some spots and others not so much. Especially if it’s a burn mark. Thank you for watching and commenting! ☺️
You're right - it doesn't always work perfectly. But sometimes, you can (VERY) lightly sand the spot, then wood bleach it just enough that the right shade of stain will (as you said) essentially make it disappear. But really dark stains will probably eliminate the necessity. Think SPRING!!!
'I use bricks' is definitely a merch t shirt
That’s awesome thinking right there! 😆 I just might do that!
@@madelinejeanantiquesrestor9074 cant remember what exactly you said but something booty when using polycrylic be a good one too. Merch be good for you :) it must be a nightly game discovering what got in your hair while working that day
Ive used it without gloves many times with no issues and I have sensitive skin. Fyi
Cool. Everyone reacts differently. I'd rather error on the side of caution.
Use a hard block instead of a felt block.
I like my felt block. Have had the same one for 8+ years.
@@madelinejeanantiquesrestor9074
There is likely a difference in hardness between the real wood, and the filler material, thus, if you use a block that's not hard and flat, you will get uneven material removal between the two materials.
@@NotSure723 My felt block is hard and works great.
First
Wait do people sleep at night is that what you’re supposed to do whoops
Hahaha! A fellow night 🦉!!! Who needs sleep right?
I don't think you repaired the veneer at all. You removed it and stained the wood underneath. Veneer repair is replacing damaged veneer with new veneer. Please show us that.
Yes I did. First of all, I didn’t remove ANY veneer. It was already missing. I used a repair medium to fix the missing veneer. Quit with the semantics “veneer repair is replacing veneer with veneer” A lot of wood refinishers use this method.
@@madelinejeanantiquesrestor9074 My apologies, I guess the title of the video threw me off.
This was a perfect walk thru👍 cheers !
I’ll add ya on IG
Awesome! Thanks!
