[VAC] Re: Table laminate surface renewal

[Jere Potter <potterjrp@xxxxxxxxx>]

Easy to do laminate yourself- no removal necessary. old surface is excellent
for this.  Buy your replacement, cut to size if possible, plus some contact
cement, & dowels. lightly sand old surface, then apply cement (brush/roller)
to both surfaces, allow to dry separately. Lay dowels down, spaced , then
new laminate. Remove dowels one-by one and carefully monitor position, as it
is a one-shot deal. Edges can be trimmed with a laminate trimmer/router, or
filed in downward direction.
This procedure is often on home do-it-yourself shows, Or look in books. Last
time I cut my piece with a carbide blade on a table saw, slightly larger,
then filed after it was adhered. Take into consideration edging removal
beforehand if any, etc, then replace after.
 
Good luck with your project,
