I'm working with (birch) veneered plywood that I'm staining. There will be several screw holes that I'll plug with wood. I'll also cover the raw edge with veneer tape (also birch). The piece will be mounted to a wall. Do I stain all of it at once (only after plugs are in)? That seems logical...

Hello, I'm attempting to restore a pretty big dresser. This one drawer has a few spots that are much lighter than the rest. I'm pretty sure that the veneer is damaged, but I'm not sure. What would be the most effective way to darken the light spots so everything matches? Thank you in advance.

I have a strip of faux stone veneer on the exterior of my house that has seem to come loose. After peeking behind it, I noticed that whoever installed it didn't use a moisture barrier and just glued it to plywood. Whats my best course of action on how to fix this? I was thinking that I cut it...

We are novices using mortar to apply Harristone Ridgestone veneer over our existing exterior brick. We are confused at how to handle existing brick ledge areas or door areas where the stone would be too high or stick out too much (see photos). Would we just use a drill and diamond blade to cut...

Hey everyone, I have a crack in my veneer on the front of the house. Not looking to redo the entire veneer so just looking to fix it. The only two options I see are removing and replacing all effected bricks one by one OR caulking the cracks with the same color mortar used. I think that...

I am working on some built-in cabinets and the veneer on my oak plywood countertop is cracking (see pic). Not sure why, but definitely not water or sun. It has been sitting in the room a month, so getting hit with the heat maybe did it? Either way, since I am pre-finish I am not sure how to...

Is it ok if a brick veneer is not built ontop of the foundation but ontop of an L shaped steel shelf that is bolted into the side of the foundation? thanks

Hello I'm about to undertake a thin brick veneer project (interior). The wall is 24' high (2 storeys), no corners, 560sq feet in total. The wall is currently drywall painted with a semi gloss paint but the wall itself has some texturing. I live in the desert and it's inside (not a bathroom) so...

I am getting ready to do my first project with veneer and purchased the peel and stick type and really do like the pattern of the wood grain. This is for a 1950's dresser. Most all of the surfaces are veneer and in pretty good shape, however the top is something like a Formica. Because I...

We have an old fireplace with slump stone that's been painted white. We want to cover this with veneer type tiles. What's the best way to attach them? Do we completely cover the stone with something like wonder board for a smooth surface? Would it be best to sandblast the paint off and try...

I occasionally ask questions here, and expect to continue to and figure I'd contribute where possible and post this for inspiration, and if anyone has any questions about the process/materials, etc. on this particular project, I'm happy to help. This was my first construction project. Goal: To...

I bought my first house, the only carpet in the house was on the stairwell. It was covering oak stair treads and plywood(?) risers. The risers have tons of cosmetic damage to them (50-100 staple/nail holes per riser and Two different colors of paint). What is the best product that I can use to...

I have precast basement walls and I'm questioning whether or not any special pre-treatment is required over the precast concrete such as water blasting, sand blasting or acid etching. I intend to ask the wall manufacturer but for several reasons I don't put much faith in their advise. I am also...

Can someone point me in the right direction on this. I am installing an egress window in the basement and using 2x6's for a header. Should I have the concrete cutter start the cut right below the brick (if so, do I need to use a lintel to support the brick), or, should I leave some concrete...

Hi, I was hoping to get some opinions on if this is bad or not. On the one corner of my house, there's a small (hairline) crack in the brick that runs up about three bricks high. We just had our house built and I'd say that the bricks are about 10 months old. They are just a veneer. There...

hi folks: I have a mid 60's brick veneer house on a slab foundation, the house as a whole seems to be well built. I have a problem with the brick veneer on a narrow portion of wall (4ft. or so wide, then turning a corner) adjoining my garage door opening. the veneer does not extend above the...
