    Take doors down, pry up laminate as much as possible to get some contact cement under it. Lay something heavy on it over night or clamp.it.

    If the laminate is as thin as paper, that’s Melamine, which is plastic, factory bonded with heat & pressure. It will not pry up.

    Underneath it is porous particle board.

    There’s other posts on here about people who’ve painted these “foil” cabinets successfully.

    Everytime I try to prime it, it still expands and looks terrible.
