Need advice on plastic laminate instillation. I have to install new plastic laminate on a existing counter top covered with the same material only a different color. Normally I would remove the existing top and plastic laminate and install a new top to the cabinet. The existing top is screwed and glued to the existing cabinet and removal is not a option, it would destroy the existing cabinet.
I was thinking of screwing 3/8 particle board to the existing counter and covering it with the new plastic laminate. This would raise the top 3/8" including the plastic. I was told that a second option would be to use a belt sander and rough up the existing plastic laminate and glue the new top down over the old.
The cabinet is in a reception area and is a standard counter top with square edges, nothing fancy.
Third option would be to use a heat gun and remove the existing plastic. Please don't tell me I have to do this.
Thanks for the help:
