Removing old laminate. Methods?
Crazy Cooter:
Try a little laequor thinner.

Thanks for all the tips. I don't have a heat gun but figured they were pretty cheap. I guess I'll try a few things and if it doesn't look like it's going to go my way, I'll invest in another tool. ;D

Just thought I would post an update. I used an old iron on the "cotton" setting. Put the iron on the surface for a few seconds then started sliding it down the side, followed by a 3" putty knife. Came off like butter. 8) I'll probably wipe it down with acetone or something before putting on the new veneer. Thanks again for everybodies help.

Laquor thinner will remove the excess glue. A belt sander will do it too. :P

I'm going to try and stay away from sanding too much. The top still has laminate and I don't want to risk chipping it around the edges. I'm sure I'll find some kind of solvent that will work. ;D
