<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 3250723, member: 37"]Occasionally need to cut very thin shims to get a good bond. Make sure glue gets on both sides of the shim. If you do not have the ability to cut shims, some veneer might do the trick. For antiques, I like to use a tung oil varnish. Can buy commercially prepared or make your own. Equal parts of oil-based varnish, tung oil, and mineral spirits will do the trick. Apply with a soft cloth, 2 coats or more.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
