Default Plywood and veneers maximum temperature

I bought a really nasty looking woodworm infested radio. I don’t plan on hiding the extremely distressed state of the radio but instead try to make a feature out of the damage.


Now I am planning on using heat treatments to kill the woodworm but does anyone know at what temperature the plywood will delaminates or the veneer lift. From my studies 50c will kill most bugs and 62c everything. I was going to put it in the oven for 8hrs as is recommended

Depending on how bad and soft the cabinet is I will probably inject it with epoxy and reinforce the interior using epoxy if required

I know that this distressed look isn’t to many people’s liking but I think it will make an interesting experiment etc. Fingers crossed it will be as totally awful as the pictures suggest.

Thanks Regards Chris
