To answer your question?

It is not real thick.  And i have ordered new T - MOLDING.

And i suspect their will be a slight overlap. But not enough to really notice or

stick out like a sore thumb.


When the laminte is cut.  It still remained black on the edges.

That was my real concern.

Hope that helps?

As far as the contact cement.  If you don't stick the laminate on right the first time.

As i did.  You can peel it right up and try again.



BUCKETHEAD:

You have seen the AFTER pictures of my Hogan's Alley cabinet

with the laminate applied.

Here are the BEFORE pictures.

You can see the improvement the laminate makes!

It virtually makes it look like a new cabinet  :D

BUCKETHEAD:

What i used was WILSONART INTERNATIONAL 600 CONTACT ADHESIVE.

Pehaps it had to do with the humidity and heat of my outdoor building?

But when i applied the laminate the wrong way.

Me and my buddy peeled it right back up and placed it the right way.

Flinkly:

if you do the appropriate thing and wait for the cement to try on both sides (not really dry, but lose it's tack), then you stick it down and it will never come back up (without ruining the formica or incredible force, etc.).  bucket might have stuck it down without waiting and still had some play due to it's still-wet condition.
