My 30 year old kitchen counter tops are covered with a Formica type laminate and I need to recover them. Can I install new Formica type laminate over the old laminate or do I need to remove it. If re

If the substrate is in good condition then a thorough degreasing and sanding (~ 80 grit) would allow you to install a new layer of laminate. You mention a water damaged section. I would suggest build

It's possible to put laminate on top of existing laminate. Unless the existing laminate is in perfect shape, you're very likely to end up with a non-flat surface. If the substrate is damaged -- you m

The water damaged section is the splash board - if that's the correct term - which I am replacing. The counter top - horizontal part - is solid. Looks like I'll do some sanding tomorrow. Thanks, Chad

If the old laminate surface is really smooth and undamaged and you really want to re-surface it, I suggest cleaning it really well before sanding it. It is probably infused with 30 years of grease an

Have you priced new ones? Laminate isn't terribly expensive; well.. probably less than $10 a linear foot for std 2' depth with built in back splash. Unless you value you labor $zero/hour I think it w

I think you are on to something. Looks like the top is attached with around a dozen dry wall screws and, I'd have to remove the sink anyway. On the tops I was looking at the, splash board was about 2

Chad, One thing you didn't mention, what is the base made of. My place is about 30 yrs old and the base for the counter tops is press board. So as others have suggested, it definately, isn't worth tr

I priced the ready made counter top, it's just over twice the price of the laminate, well worth the extra cost in saved time. Now I have another question. The 10 ft counter they sell is the correct s

Your circular saw should do just fine. I was able to cut counter top material with mine. used masking tape along the finish side of the cut to help reduce chipping. The hardest part was getting a cl

Definitely cut from the underside if using the circular saw. Clamp a guide to make a straight cut. http://www.easy2diy.com/cm/easy/diy_ht_3d_index.asp?page_id=35743498 If those shorter sections are a
