Wood Veneer Laptop Mod

Step 4Soak Veneer for bending

Soak Veneer for bending
I soaked the Veneer in hot water so that i could bend it around the edges without it splintering.

I then dried off the excess water to avoid any possibility of water damage. It may be a good idea to remove the battery as well... just to be on the safe side.

I then used masking tape to hold the wood in place on the laptop so it would dry and retain the bent shape.

Actually, I don't think water would hurt much of it. The screen, maybe, but usually electronics can handle plain water pretty well. My dad and I have a family network business, and we've soaked a couple of routers in saltwater before to short out and therefore reset the FLASH memory, and they have always worked just fine afterwards :D... don't recommend that, though, unless you have to.
