Scratched veneer. Update
Posted yesterday asking for help to restore badly scratched speaker top. Reporting back.
1. Cleaned with mineral spirits
2. Sanded with 180. Lightly to open grains a little.
3. Sprayed water on top and went into town with wife's iron through soaking towel. Maximum heat. Maximum steam.
4. 30 minutes later I realized I won't get scratches fully out.
5. More sanding with 180 and 220
6. Now iron on medium heat. Dry. Through dry towel.
I don't know if this step is necessary. It worked for me. I did it to get all moisture out before finishing.
6. Howard's restore-a-finish followed by wax and feed.
Is the veneer still scratched? Absolutely! But it looks very presentable now. Hope someone will find it usefull.
