I have a couple of cabinet doors where the thermofoil material has bubbled up and away from the door. Not sure cutting it open and streaming glue would be attractive. I thought about heating it to shrink it back to the door but didn’t know if the heat would crack or burn the finish. Any ideas or tips on how I can get my doors back to normal?thanks for the helpBeth

Thermofoil is boned to MDF at the factory. Any repair will be noticeable and MDF is not a good gluing substrate. Can't be heat shrinked, it will melt or disfigure more.
