1M views · 2.9K reactions | Fixing Damaged Veneer - Modern End Table Makeover | By Flipped by Abby | My dad found these really awesome vintage end tables for me to flip but they were in some rough condition. Not only were they dirty and stained but they also had some serious veneer damage. So, I'm going to show you how I fix it with Bondo but first, I always start out with removing the hardware and cleaning and all the cracks and crevices. The reason I clean before I sand is because all this gunk is going to get in my sandpaper and waste it. Sandpaper is not cheap. So, this extra step is worth it. With 220 grit sandpaper, I sanded this old finish until it was really smooth. And I decided to strip the drawers so I worked my way up from 80 grit sandpaper to 220 grit sandpaper. For this large veneer damage, I grab my two-part bondo to mix up because it's going to be really hard and durable but yes, this stuff is designed for wood and it's not going to crack over time. By taping off the surrounding areas, I'm easily able to pull all the excess bondo off and it's going to save me a lot of time sanding it down. Once I sanded it all smooth, I grabbed my clear shellac to seal the entire piece. This isn't always a necessary step but I had a hunch that this was in a smoker's house just by the age and because of all the stains on the top. So, this will seal in any lingering smells that might be inside of the wood. Shellac is also great for blocking bleed through whenever you're working with dark woods like mahogany. Priming isn't a necessary step because I'm using my Milange One Paint in the color jet black. It has a built-in primer and top coat that I do actually trust. If you're interested in trying it out, use code Abby ten for 10% off on Milange Paints. com and I'm not trying to just sell you some random paint because I literally harass Milange for an entire year before I was able to join their affiliate program and even now, I still buy it with my own money.
