Looks like you might be on the mark there - tried di-chloro-methane and that doesn't touch it either, so as you say it must be a 2-pack curing film. Most irritating - mechanical methods only, which means re-finishing the whole cabinet.

In that case (no pun intended) I will need to remove the speaker panel and the scale-glass. The lower edge trim seems to be stapled in - removing staples from chipboard will be fun (or rather getting them back in will be)

I will proceed as you describe, once I've got the thing apart.

For the veneer repair - in the past I've used coloured waxes for fixing missing chips in veneer - will this work under 2-part or will it just dissolve?

There may be a delay of some weeks while I get my workshop sorted out as I have no spray facilities at the moment. In the meantime there will be some light music (the radio plays well now, so I'll listen to it before it undergoes surgery..)

Many thanks for the tips,

Kevin.
