Title: Bought 2 Sheets of Laminate for $15
Post by: AlanS17 on June 04, 2003, 12:54:18 am: I thought I would just point out that I bought 2 sheets of blue laminate for $15. I found it at the Habitat for Humanity store. It's actually part of a counter-top I plan on dissasembling. Y'all may want to try the same idea.

Post by: rampy on June 05, 2003, 03:42:09 pm: how big are the sheets? I bought a "sheet" for 13 bucks at home depot... unfortunately it's the smaller sheet suited for control panel covering and not for the sides of a cabinet.

*shrug* need more info (but sounds good otherwise!)

You may want to check local charity thrift stores (Habitat, children's homes, Salvation Army). They're the kind of places that would have that stuff. I may have just gotten lucky, though.

These are larger sheets. Each one is large enough to cover the side of a full-sized up right arcade machine. They're table-tops.
