Depends entirely on what rewrap boy used to bond the veneer to the shell.

yea i have read that. even if he did use a strong bonding agent, its still not impossible to remove, correct? just a major pain in the berries?

If he used 3-M contact cement, you be peeling splinters for weeks....I think I would strip the top coat, sand and stain it and call it good.....but then I'm lazy...as everyone knows.
