Salon Table Modification

[Mark Wey]

Question: I would  like to renew the salon table. Something like has been done by others on this sight. However I would like to take the existing table top and add on a veneer finish. Has anyone done this type of thing. I think if I rough up the existing finish and apply the new one with Contact Cement it should work. Any comments. Lastly, can any one that has their boat near them give me an approximate size of the original table.(full size). I will cut it down but the veneer comes in 2ft wide rolls. I am pretty sure it is wide enough but confirmation would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Mark

Table dimensions for the inside area of the table (not including the raised edge)are as follows on my 1994 model:

26 inches wide
38.5 inches long
44 inches long
The table is not a true rectangle. The reason I know is because the original table is stored at home. The table on the boat ( which is currently buried under snow, ice, and probably a penguin or two)is hinged to make it easier to get in and out of the salon area.
