Hi, Strip it off or make a slip over cover and nail it down flat. Then tile it or finish it as required.........

Have you looked into tile or cracked tile countertops?

Tile was a suggestion I received earlier, have never tiled before. The mosaic tile would not be as difficult maybe.
thanks for the advice

  Thank you, I did consider that. Working on getting up the old laminate, looks like there might be something original under that that I might be able to work with. Also may take a tiling class. Thanks for your advice
