zapped 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2009 Very nice! Where did you buy the glossy laminates and how much? What tools do you need to do the job? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cyberkinetic 0 Report post Posted May 26, 2009 Hi, can you share the steps how you do the laminates? Probably the tools as well? I'm thinking of laminating my main door instead of painting it ... the plan is to strip down the old layers of paint and remove the decorative trimmings before putting on laminate of our choice. Many thanks. Cheers.

vorks 1 Report post Posted June 16, 2009 any idea where to buy the decal? I've got a build in wardrobe that I am thinking of decalling it. I don't want to rebuild the wardrobe but it is looking a little old. Can I get wall paper? Though best is this kind of decal. Looks really good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For a good bond, you always remove any existing laminate. by comparison, stickers are much cheaper and personally, I'm tempted to use that to lower the cost of some of the stuff that I'm doing.

Hi, refer to post #11 of this thread for address. Yes, Formica needs some skil to cut and apply. Wallpaper I'm not sure of any shop recommendation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
