How do you repair lifting laminate on kitchen doors?

Try heating affected area with a hair dryer or heat gun. Then after the glue starts to soften, Clamp the laminate down to the sub surface. Let cool and it may be OK.

Try construction adhesive and add weight to it until dry. You'll need to remove to lay flat and use clamps or books to hold it tight. If moisture has gotton under the laminate and the substraight has swollen and won't allow it to lay flat there's not much you can do at that point except replace the doors or drawer fronts.

Hi Eileen, I had that problem with my drawers, I sanded the area and filled with drywall mud and painted, trim the area to stop the laminate from tear more and paint, I attached a video that is very thorough, hope it helps

Laminates and humidity don't get along. Always use your kitchen exhaust fan when cooking. Turn on the ceiling fan, if you have one. Run a dehumidifier set no higher than 40% to draw out excessive moisture. This may be needed even if you have air conditioning in your home.

Hello Eileen,

You would need to clamp the doors and drawers once they have been glued for about 24 hours to assure a cood fix! Best of luck.

I had some laminate lifting on the corner of my bathroom vanity and just jused some hot glue and that did the trick.

Try a stronger adhesive like Aleen's Fusion: https://amzn.to/2MAmSF2

I think your best bet is a stronger adhesive. Have you tried a construction adhesive, or Welbond?

I suggest going to the hardware store for an adhesive that is made for laminate like contact cement. Clamping will hold it together until it dries. Good luck and stay safe!

When you glue it you need to clamp it with a clamp a tight one get one at home depot because it probably will happen to all the canines eventually.

Thank you all so much. Each reply was valuable so I thank you and I am off to repair my doors.

A stronger adhesive and definitely clamps
