Over the years this paper can become damaged and begin to peel.  This was one of the projects I was really looking forward to.  I got a short roll of pre-gummed real walnut wood laminate and cut a test piece to mount on a spare center control plate.  I measure the gap and cut the wood using a pair of shears and then trimmed it using a paper cutter.  I then used a banding iron on medium high to activate the glue.  I do not know the exact temperature where the glue becomes active, however I know that it is higher than a locked up car on a summer day.<\/p>\n<p>After the glue cooled, I sanded the wood and applied a thin coat of linseed oil.  When I do this for the real deal, I&#8217;ll likely sand from 600 to 1800 grit and use linseed oil and wax to finish.  I was concerned that the linseed oil may affect the glue, but it does not seem to affect the bond.<\/p>\n<p>Before:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/saab99.motd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Saab-060.jpg\" class=\"fancyboxgroup\" rel=\"gallery-1042\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/saab99.motd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Saab-060-300x239.jpg\" alt=\"Saab 060\" width=\"300\" height=\"239\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1043\" srcset=\"https:\/\/saab99.motd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Saab-060-300x239.jpg 300w, https:\/\/saab99.motd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Saab-060.jpg 865w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The test piece:<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-1042 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/saab99.motd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/FK2A0072.jpg' class=\"fancyboxgroup\" rel=\"gallery-1042\"><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/saab99.motd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/FK2A0072-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/saab99.motd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/FK2A0073.jpg' class=\"fancyboxgroup\" rel=\"gallery-1042\"><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/saab99.motd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/FK2A0073-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/saab99.motd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/FK2A0074.jpg' class=\"fancyboxgroup\" rel=\"gallery-1042\"><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/saab99.motd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/FK2A0074-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/saab99.motd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/FK2A0075.jpg' class=\"fancyboxgroup\" rel=\"gallery-1042\"><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/saab99.motd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/FK2A0075-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/saab99.motd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/FK2A0076.jpg' class=\"fancyboxgroup\" rel=\"gallery-1042\"><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/saab99.motd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/FK2A0076-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/saab99.motd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/FK2A0077.jpg' class=\"fancyboxgroup\" rel=\"gallery-1042\"><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/saab99.motd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/FK2A0077-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The original wood trim for the control switches is essentially a picture of wood on thin contact paper.
