I've got a friend that broke his table in his motorhome and he asked me if I could fix it. I built my router table with formica on both sides using contact cement with less than stellar results. I may not have clamped it sufficiently, but it just seemed like the edges weren't going to stick, with or without force. I applied contact cement to both the plywood substrate and the formica, then put dowels on the plywood, put the formica on the dowels, and slid the dowels out one by one. Then I put a piece of wood that was slightly bigger than the table and then just stacked a whole bunch of weight on it. One side came out all right, but even that side still didn't stick real well on the edges. Is it possible I didn't get it stuck together quickly enough?
I don't want the same thing to happen on this guy's table. Is there an easier/better method to applying this? Thanks for any help!
