Basically, I have an Artic mini I've been cleaning up. The veneer is faded, has scratches, and two large but single cracks on either side. There is also one crack in the front under the tiny CP, right down the middle. Unfortunately, I can't get good enough light to take decent pictures where it is located now, but here is what the cab looks like. Right now I have Goindol in mine.

If you look closely, this cab has the same exact crack in the veneer on the side that I have (but I also have it on the other side and the front, as stated). My crack is worse. Looks like all they did was slap some black paint on it, but I'm looking to completely cover the crack. Can I squirt glue under it and put something heavy on it to hold it down so it becomes flush again, then just bondo? Or should I just neatly cut on both sides of the crack and fill the crevice with bondo?

I would love to avoid removing the entire surface and replacing it at least for now, unless you guys think it's just going to crack all over. Thoughts?
