Perparing a painted box for veneering

wskitche · 31st July 2007, 12:05 AM

Hi, I bought some DIY bass units a while back that are in a painted MDF box where the corners have been rounded over (looks like with a roundover router bit). I would like to veneer these boxes, is there anything simple i can do to rebuild the edges of the boxes? Any other finish suggestions welcome - is it possible to veneer over the round over?

Thanks

You can veneer around corners, but it takes the right kind of veneer and lots of practice. If I were you, I'd skin the thing in 12mm, (sorry, 1/2 inch

) MDF or ply and veneer that.
