[SilverStreak] Hinge reinforcement and panneling



OK I am moving fast today. 2 projects

1. HINGES I have already returned from Lowes and installed my Nylon spacers. What a great 
Idea unfortunately this repair will not help those with already broken loops but for those 
with worn loops like me who were using metal washers to space the gaps this is a much 
friendlier way to fill the gap and no doubt take strain off the hinge loops. I used 4 1/2 
X .257 X 1/4 Nylon Spacers that I found in the parts drawer in the hardware isle at Lowes. 
I had to shape them on a sanding wheel but once shaved they pushed right in.

2. PANELING Dan wrote and suggested veneers instead of my radical suggestion of removing 
existing panneling sheets and rebuilding every drawer face. Here is a link to veneer products. 
Looks like peel and stick but of course with these type products you want to reinforce seams 
with additional adhesives. Are the products in this link what your talking about?
