--- Quote from: AlanS17 on March 14, 2003, 03:45:15 pm ---Well I've got an old beat up cabinet that used to be a Bad Dudes machine, spent a second life as Batman, and ended up in my frat house. Laminate would be nice to cover up its weathered edges. I know it's not cheap. That's why I'm looking for help. ;) However as for applying before assembly... Too late... Someone else took care of that years ago. --- End quote --- haha..how expensize is $28 for 2 4x8 sheets(Thats the deal I get).. :P Laminate is good if you are building brand new cabinet..if I am converting some old crap then I would just paint the thing. |

HEY! Are you calling my cabinet crap?!?! :P j/k Well I don't want it to look like some old machine. That's the point... That's why I want the laminate. I got sideart that I wouldn't even want to apply cuz it would be a waste on such ugly painted sides. |

You can apply laminate after assembly but it can be tricky. Laminating both sides shouldn't be that hard though. Snaaack gets his laminate directly from a laminate supplier. Grab your yellow pages and call around maybe can find a local supplier. Another option is the old contact paper or wall paper trick. |

My first attempt at covering my cab was done with con-tac paper. Too many seams, and the adhesion is less than stellar. I have decided that it just doesn't do the cab justice, but it's too late to do laminate (the T-molding slot is already cut for 5/8). I am going to order some vinyl wall coverings in a space theme, thus reducing the number of seams from 3 to 1, and by using a space theme, you won't see the seams unless someone gets out their microscope. Anyone have any luck using wall coverings? |
