contact cement
need to re-glue formica edge of old bathroom vanity. The strip is
about 6' long, and about 2' of one end has come loose. how do I repair? should i pull the whole strip off and re-glue or just glue the portion that has come loose? how do i remove old contact cement? You'll almost certainly never get the piece off w/o breaking it unless the rest of the adhesive is also letting loose. You might try very carefully using a putty knife or the ilk and see if can actually separate the piece by pushing it under and slicing the rest of the sheet loose but I'll wager odds are not good. I would simply recoat (both surfaces) after removing an sizable pieces of dirt grit and reglue w/ contact cement. You'll want to keep the two surfaces from touching until it dries w/ some thin stickers, of course, and then press back down from the inside edge(s) outward to avoid any buckling. -- |

contact cement
I recenty used some "Sticky Ass Glue" where contact cement failed and it
was downright miraculous. I suspect is has some sort of cyanoacrylate mixed in. - = - Vasos Panagiotopoulos, Columbia'81+, Reagan, Mozart, Pindus, BioStrategist http://www.panix.com/~vjp2/vasos.htm ---{Nothing herein constitutes advice.
