Hello,

I have an old laminate countertop in our kitchen. I would like to just
laminate on top of the existing countertop as a "couple year" solution.
We
plan to redo the entire kitchen in that time. I thought I could do
that,
but the guy at the BORG told me that it would never work. The new
laminate
would not stick to the old laminate.

Anyone ever do this?
Did it work?


Never tried it but I don't see a reason it would not work. Mark's comment
about scuffing the surface sounds like a good plan.

Guys,

Thanks for the quick replies. Currently the backsplash is a crappy piece of
pine that the original owner had. I do a decent amount of woodworking so I
will try and make a backsplash. My front edge will either be a beveled edge
exposing about a qtr inch of hardwood or a solid wood edge. Whichever I can
figure out how to do while the counter top is in place.

Any thoughts on the edge would be greatly appreciated

Thanks Again
