Peel off old laminate or laminate right over it?

tommy:

Just use some extra glue under the new lami , the right way is to remove the old but if its too much trouble throw it on top.

Goz:

Break out the heat gun and grab some beer it can take some time; but in the long run it will be worth it.

Yeah it can, but you wiill need to hold it over an area for a minute or two before you can peel.

scatter:

We use some type of solvent, like lacquer thinner. Put it in a squirt bottle like an old wood glue bottle or something like a squirt bottle (not a spray bottle). Drip it onto the edge of the laminate and it will come right up with a little work from a putty knife or painter's tool. Do this in a well ventilated area and wait until the solvent has evaporated before putting any contact adhesive for the new laminate on it.
