<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sparky, post: 407200, member: 8646&quot;]Thanks everyone for the tips! I&#039;ve read of several methods, including the steam one. The veneer is warped up to about 2&quot; at the back, so I can clearly see the subwood (oak), and it appears to be in ok shape.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have plenty of weights laying around that I could use. The auction house had the mirror sitting right on the veneer, but it&#039;s sprung back up now that I removed it, so it might be &quot;new&quot; damage? I&#039;m terrified that if I just put the mirror back on now, it&#039;ll crack/splinter the veneer horribly. I should add that it&#039;s THICK veneer, almost 1/8&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll post a pic of the mirror tonight when I get back out to the shop.</p><p><br /></p><p>And YES - replacement quarter sawn veneer is waaaaay too expensive for me, at 4x the cost of the entire sideboard. Plus I&#039;m of the school to preserve what I can without destroying it. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Do you recommend a certain type of glue? Or should I see if heat/steam will &quot;reactivate&quot; the glue, assuming it&#039;s hide glue?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
