    Would it not be easier to take the adhesive off? I know that if you want to take adhesive off floor tiles, this can be achieved by ironing on the surface. I do not know if it will work on formica, but if you put something on it to protect the surface, it may be worth trying. The heat should melt the glue. When putting on the new adhesive, it may be worth while putting it on both sides, so that you can move it slightly if needed.

      @Valerie thank you.....was hoping there would be a way to slide adhesive in without removing facing at risk of cracking....but this may be only choice....
