How easy is this? I would think it would be a pain without lying the cab down. Also how thick is it?
Flinkly:
it would be very difficult without laying the cabinet down. you just get a big enough sheet of laminate to cover both sides, rough cut it to abuot an inch oversized, glue both sides, wait for tackiness, and throw them together. of course you want to watch out for air bubles. after it dries, you go around the outside with a flush trim router bit and your golden (just in case, "golden" is an american term for...done, i guess).
jcrouse:
To add it to an existing cabinet would be pretty simple IF you had smooth sides. Yes you would have to lay the cabinet on it's side for ease of installation and trimming. The main problem is the cost. a 4' x 8' sheet here is about (average) $50 US. The thickness varies depending on the grade. The standard grade is about .045. I use 5/8" MDF and 3/4" T molding and then trim the T Molding to size.

Hmm I think I'll just stick with covering the sides with vinyl. I'm going to get a quote for the signwriter style computer-cut vinyl for my sideart. Hopefully this will be a lot cheaper than having the whole lot printed,
