Fix Laminate Counters?
+11
The edge pieces and the “backsplash” portion of my laminate counters are becoming unglued. What type of glue would work best on this? I plan to replace the counters, but won’t get it done until after the pandemic. The below photo shows an edge piece by the sink.
Hi Lauren, I would use E6000 to glue them back. It should hold since it's moisture resistant. Try using an ice cream stick or stirrer to squish the glue in the gap and clamp (if possible) until set.

I would use E6000. It's a strong glue and will hold-up.
I agree with E6000 It should hold up well.
E6000 or Loctite Power Grab. Make sure to squeeze out any excess and clean. Then clamp or tape in place until dry.
We've had great success with Gorilla Grip glue. Be sure to wipe up any excess before it dries!
E-600 tube glue should work great! Clamp or weight the area for firm adhesion.

E6000 or Contact Cement. Hopefully moisture didn't get behind it. Moisture will make the particles board swell and separate. No real fix for that.
I would use Loctite power grab. That glue sticks to anything. Or gorilla glue.
Hi Lauren! I found this, which may help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzIsIjkRy4A
Agree with above posters E 6000 is a favorite glue to use. There also is a Gorilla glue ( non-expanding) similar formulation.

perhaps checking out reviews and Q&A will help you decide if it might be suitable for your needs.
If its just a temp fix, a two part epoxy may work, But really the only way to repair is to remove, sand till clean and re install...
