Schoolboy error i was drilling some holes in a black veneer built-in bookcase and got a large chip breakout where it shows badly. Dont have the chip for an easy fix sso i'm wondering..:
Is it likely/possible i could carefully use a holesaw to obtain a neat circular patch piece from the recessed area that wont be seen and apply to damaged area having drilled same circle over damaged area?
Or.. this being a prefabricated bookcase. Are the shelves likely screwed/glued/dowelled or might they only be screwed? If that were the case i could have the option of moving all the shelves down to cover the damaged area which is just under them at the moment?
Laminated chipboard btw.
Also wondering about the possibilities of some filler and black polish?
