How do I give my countertop a quick, inexpensive update?
I have Formica countertop & the part that is glued on to the edges is all coming off & some parts of the top is lifting as well, I don't have the money to replace it at this time, but would like to try something else. Help.

I have seen laminate counters with wood edging. Maybe this would work for you. https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=formica%20countertop%20with%20wood%20trim&qs=n&form=QBIRMH&sp=-1&pq=formica%20countertop%20with%20wood%20trim&sc=1-33&sk=&cvid=FFD435C6F05F47199DD142613FA89867

Most laminate counter tops are put together using contact cement. To restick it, heat your clothing iron to a low setting, and iron/press the loose areas. The heat should soften the glue enough to make it stay in place. Increase the heat setting if needed. Keep the iron moving to avoid burning the surface in 1 spot.
