    Default Removing veneer

    The table again, the oak veneer top was a complete mess and needs to be replaced, using a 1" chisel I managed to scrape off the bulk, it just splintered and lifted away.
    There are a few stubborn spots where it does not want to move and the chisel just rides over the top.
    The adhesive appears to be white and powdery, I suspect it may be hide glue and if it is I think if I apply hot water to the veneer it may peel away.
    Any other thoughts on how to remove these problem bits.

    Iain, I removed oak veneer from an old cupboard using a hot air gun and a stainless steel paint scraper. Just heated the veneer ahead of the scraper and pushed the scraper under the veneer.
