Q&A: Repairing Laminate Countertops

Three experts answer common questions about the sticky stuff

Q. What type of glue is best for repairing laminate that is beginning to lift at the edge of a kitchen countertop?

A.If the existing glue is contact cement (which is typical), then I would recommend using that. Just apply a generous amount of contact cement to both surfaces and allow it to dry, then press back into place. If wood glue was used, spread water-based wood glue in the lifted area and add pressure for a couple of hours or until the glue is dry.
