Thermafoil cabinet melted!
-
Woodbridge Environmental Tiptophouse.com on Aug 28, 2014@Joan once the plastic begins to fail there is really not much you can do to repair it. My concern is why is the surface appear to be melting? Is it near a stove or heat source? Putting any additional heat on the plastic coating will do nothing other then to loosen the plastic from the surface of the wood. One low cost method is if its the doors, you can purchase new replacements on line at many on line cabinet stores. If its the framing of the cabinet you would be best served to use a sharp utility knife and cut off the area that Is coming loose. Then using autobody filler fill in over the removed material to bring it level to the surface of the remaining plastic surface then paint using a high gloss paint that matches the color of the cabinets.Helpful Reply

Joan on Aug 28, 2014Thanks for your help. Yes, the area is above my toaster oven which produces heat. I will check about a replacement door. For the framing, I think I will try regluing using super glue or epoxy. Thanks again.Helpful Reply
