Hope this forum is the place to ask questions about restorations and not only for posting about your current / past restoration projects...
Anyway, I have a dynamo cut corner cabinet, and the cabinet has swollen on the left hand side of the control panel, so it's about an inch thicker than it should be, and it'll no longer hold the t-molding in place. I was told I could hot glue the t-molding into place, but the wood would still be swollen and ugly. Given that this is a generic cabinet, I have no real interest (nor access to the required tools) to do a full restoration on it, but I was curious what the options were, if I wanted to repair it.
I've come up with:
1: Cut a replacement side panel, route grooves for t-molding, sand, paint, etc.
2: sand down the existing panel until it's flat, use wood hardener, repaint, etc.
3: Paint over the swollen parts so it's less noticible, and then post a picture on thereifixedit.com
Any other options? Anyone have any tips and tricks for doing this kind of repair? I have a big blue Capcom cab which could benefit from the same repairs, and is equally unlikely to have the repairs done due to its genericness.
