Adrianne C on Nov 25, 2014The glue used to attach laminate is tough, not sure you can get it off without a lot of damage. How about painting it with some of the new paints for plastic?Helpful Reply

Sherrie on Nov 25, 2014The glue, if it was put up with a adhesive you might try a blow dryer to warm it up because it will reactivate the glue making the release easier. Don't use a heat gun it will melt it.Helpful Reply
