veneer question


Hi, I have a question for the wood workers among you: my Dunlavy SC-V is finished with cherry veneer. At the speaker's long edge (at the rear) this veneer shows a bit of loosening from the MDF surface. This happens almost at the entire length of the edge. Is it a common situation for these speakers? What can be done to prevent further deterioration? Thank you in advance.

Dazzdax,
I have the same problem with a pair of IVAs finished in natural oak veneer. The fix shouldn't be too tough but finding the correct glue is problematic. You are glueing contact cement to contact cement rather than veneer to MDF. I would wait for a glue suggestion from someone who has actually completed such a project successfully.
