Scott, how much of the laminate has come
unattached? If it is just the edges, you may be able to reattach the laminate
with a super glue product. A good lumber yard (especially if they deal in
hardwoods for the cabinet trade) will have 3-4 oz containers of super glue
in various viscosities. The medium would probably be about
right.
If the whole laminate piece is coming up and you
can get it off without breaking it, then contact cement will stick it back. If
you break the laminate but can get it off, you can buy new laminate in various
colors and patterns (probably) to match the original look. Contact cement will stick the new laminate to the
original counter top probably for another 42 years.
On my ' 68 Tradewind the counter top suffered a
water leak for a long time in the hands of a previous owner and the particle
board under the laminate had turned back to sawdust. I had to replace the whole
counter top and fortunately found a laminate to match the original. The
down side was I had to buy a whole 8 foot length which is the shortest length it
comes in.
