heres one for the joinery / cabinet making experts on here I’m starting renovating the westy overhead locker and side wardrobe but some of the laminate needs glueing. What is the best adhesive to use please? Any recommendations gratefully received
Contact adhesive is the best but its messy. Use a cheap 1"brush do both sides let it dry then apply firm pressure for a few mins. Ex cabinet maker lol
Evo stick contact adhesive, as @nell said. Not sure PVA would be any good. Both surfaces would need to be porous. I think
+1 for Evo Stick type contact adhesive, remember to open the windows as its a bit pungent in enclosed spaces.
I’d wait until he’s sober to get a sensible answer or not Not PVA !!!! Impact/ contact adhesive is probably best. The problem is your applying it to previously glued areas and it may not adhere that well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Use a heat gun to remove any old adhesive, then contact adhesive spread on both surfaces, leave till touch dry then stick em together....clean any excess off with acetone.
If the laminate you are sticking down isn't completely flat, warm it up with a heat gun and it will be pliable and less likely to twang back up once stuck.
Pva will work fine if it's new and you have a lot of pressure to compress them. Let the chemicals in the evo stick do it for you. You can buy it cheaper from carpet fitters or roofing supplier people but mainly in 5 lt times don't get the spray can stuff it's bobbins
Check out my resto thread if you want to see more detail, I’ve replaced quite a bit of the laminate in my bus! Starts about here on page 13.. http://thelatebay.com/index.php?threads/chilli-the-funky-green-chillin-machine.49460/page-13 And this is the glue I used. It’s like a gel and isn’t to messy https://www.amazon.co.uk/Thixofix-5...48500765412:pla-421533003320&psc=1&th=1&psc=1
cheers fella, I'd forgot about your thread (too much worky stuff going on). I'll use it for reference along with the other bookmarked
I'm surprised jiz hasn't got a mention ?? Usual culprits must be napping .. Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk
Flour and water has a good adhesive effect failing that try a suitable sikaflex product or boil up some glue on @Geordie 's wood burner.
