I've got some chips in the lacquer of my beautiful walnut dash. Anyone have any idea how I might mend them? The lacquer or varnish must be nearly 1mm thick. I stil have one of the chips... the other long gone.

Polyester Lacquer apparently. The correct repair is to take all the old off, and respray with new.... sod that.

The problem with parts from the breakers is that genuine wooden dash parts are really expensive, and becasue it's wood it'll never match exactly unless I replace the lot. And that makes it cost even more! I like the colour of the wood on my dash. It's a kind of golden yellow rather than the darker colour you tend to see more often.

Repair kits are available though, and there's a few guys doing repairs on YouTube.... I'll have to try one of them and see what we see.
 
Suppose you’d only need to strip the damaged parts but getting it match would be difficult. Sort of thing stranger wouldn’t notice but for you it would be constantly itching away.
Years ago you used to get people would come round tune your piano and repair scratches and damage similar to that. Sort of business you’d see in yellow pages or even the freeads. Probably as likely to find one now as a chimney sweep or a cobbler
