In fairness Nick I'm not new to woodwork and repairs of 'this nature' working on guitars as I do (and dozens of VW sets too over 40 years), however - and hence my request for advice at the beginning - I don't recall ever having let in a section of veneer before (?!). I've veneered speakers, so I know how to be careful around edges and stuff, and lots of finish/lacquer repair work, but not this actual type of veneer repair. But anyway, thanks for the kind words of encouragement and to anyone considering repairing a veneer chip, give it a go, there's a good chance you'll make it look a whole lot better!
