Pictures to follow tomorrow, but two corners have been crushed by the courier's rough handling.

In both cases the veneer is intact but the chipboard is compressed. The vertical face bulges out and the horizontal is depressed.

My method here would be to remove the chipboard under the veneer in the affected area. Also the finish would need stripping back. Apply a metal corner to the casework with waxed paper covers to prevent adhesion. Then backfill the chipboard with sawdust and pva resin and press it in under pressure, thus returning the veneer to its flat state hopefully.

The Finnish is chipped and splintered with long glass like cracks so the corner needs stripping back.

I guess I might get the veneer flat enough to allow use of abrasives, but I fear the bits of old finish will get in the way.

What do you think? Pictures will help - there are some on the restoration thread I started.
