I have an older boat. The bulkheads (walls) have a plastic laminate over a plywood substrate. From 100 yards away, it still looks like wood grained Formica. Get the picture? LOL
I want to cover these walls with a mahogany veneer. Can I just solvent wash and clean with acetone and lightly sand with 80 grit to just break the surface of the laminate and then glue up the veneer?
I will probably use contact cement to glue down the veneer. No guessing please. Has anyone here ever actually done this or do you know first hand of someone that has?
Removing and replacing the bulkheads is not an option.
Thanks in advance
