Guys,

I'm going to refinish my dash in the next week or so and wanted to see if
there are any good tips, or things to avoid, etc. before I begin. It's an '80
and some of the veneer has a few cracks and some small chips, but no warping.
I'm planning on removing the old veneer and then applying new Walnut veneer
with a cherry stain, and then finishing it with about 5 coats of a good
semi-gloss marine polyurethene with all the usual wet sanding and ample drying
time between coats. I plan on using white transfer "prestype" for the "LIGHTS"
lettering before the poly.  Any BTDT advice would be appreciated. I'll also
document and photo the exercise. TIA
