Greetings,
Does anyone have experience applying new Formica/Wilsonart laminate over
old laminate using waterborne contact cement? I've only done new work and
haven't much experience with waterborne contact cement. I assume the old
surface should be sanded with a coarse grit to allow the contact cement to
grip. I would like to use Wilsonart H2O contact cement
Any experiences, good or bad, tips, watchout fors etc. installing new
laminate over old (especially using water base cement) would be
appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Hank

I have done overlays many times in the past, using just the
method that you describe. However, I have always used the
solvent based contact cement. I believe in the "if it ain't
broke, don't fix it" method, so I have never tried the water
based solvent.

For what its worth, the guy that I use for formica on larger
projects told me that he would NOT use water base cement due
to warranty problems in the past. He did not elaborate.
