Use a piece of wood so your hands will be not expose on the glue.. -------------------- Concrete Repair thanks thanks for the advice...however the peel of until some door left no exisiting material. peel off, the material ( color) outer layer near corner of each door chop off a bit.. how to amend that? sorry if my description is not complete..and not clear.. can i change color of the cabinet door without changing the whole door?

jerra 0 Report post Posted January 1, 2010 i have this problem with my resale flat too. i intend to re laminate it at first. but i think its too troublesome, no one wants to do the job. end up got to change the whole door. $55 each door (some quoted $80 -$120). so i think if your ID charge $40, you can consider changing it.

jerra 0 Report post Posted January 6, 2010 haha same here. i only did really minor things due to the high COV. but for me, changing the cabinet door is a must. we have only about 16 cabinet doors, so its still within 1k, but if i were to redo the whole kitchen cabinet that will be afew k. other way is learn how to diy and relaminated yourself since no contractor will do it, even they do, the price is as good as changing it.= Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
