Blistering Veneer!

I'm thinking you might have to do just that. You may also need to provide an escape for the air you've trapped under the veneer. A tiny pinhole or slit (along the grain) at an edge of the pocket, and roll out to the edge.Then sand lightlyand re-spray. HTH. Tom

I've never tried it, but this seems like it should work. 'Borrowed' from

"Occasionally, bubbles or "blisters" will form in a veneer in an area where there is an insufficient amount of glue in that particular spot on the substrate. To repair a blister, drill two small holes -- each about

Use a syringe to squeeze yellow glue into the blister until it pops out of the other pinhole (figure G). Add wax paper, a caul and clamp to add pressure on the blister and flatten it as the glue dries. In a few hours, the blistered veneer will be perfectly flat."

I don't know if you've got an inconspicuous spot for experimenting. Tom suggested a slit or pinhole. Make the pinhole with a 30 ga needle, inject a little of Rockler's thin cyano (or equivalent) put a piece of teflon over the bubble and clamp. If done with care and no visible squeeze out, you might dodge the need for any refinishing. The Teflon is just a precaution in case there is some squeeze out. Ideally, you can limit the amount of glue so there is no squeeze out.

Don't drill holes - they'll be visible afterwards. An enormous scalpel slit will be invisible afterwards, so long as you cut along the grain.

Thanks for the advice guys!
