Default Can I laminate over laminate


"L C" wrote in message news:_7WQg.7$Iq5.6@trndny02...
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?

As others have said, yes you can apply over old laminate. We did it on
our kitchen, lasted 5 years with no problems, till we did a full redo .
The old layer must be well bonded, and abrade it with 60-80 grit belt
sander. I would recommend against cutting grooves in the old layer, they
may telegraph thru.
