Default Re: Veneer chipped at corner of cabinet

I totally see and appreciate the reason to use that method where applicable. My small piece of veneer sample when cut diagonally was just right to fill the gap, and the grain and colour is similar to the wood
Yes, I agree. I have seen at least a couple of sets repaired like this, and in an inconspicuous place, the repair is essentially invisible.

Hands-up how many of us might have just reached for the brown paint
