As a good citizen you should use lovely water based stuff which will react with the wood glue and loosen all the joints whilst making the veneers swell up, so that you have no choice but to buy a nice new flat screen TV
I've got four tins of Colron spirit dye from the 70s. Smells great, works great and you can mix them. Wouldn't be without them. They'll see me out..

Great job BTW!
