Scott,

Sometimes they can be repaired if the conditions are right. If the edges are coming up you can gently pry up the laminate and brush some contact cement in between. Only pry as much as the gap will let you, any over prying and the laminate will crack. After it dries clamp over the whole area over night. If it is coming up in the middle I have successfully drilled a hole up thru the substraight and injected contact cement up and under the lift. Then clamp by exerting downward pressure for 24 hr. or longer. Be very careful not to drill thru the laminate. I ground a drill bit down to give a flat bottomed hole. If the substraight is swelling or delimitating replacement would be the best bet. This may be more info than you need, but here it is.
