Hi all,
I applied Formica to the side tables that I built for my Craftsman cabinet saw a couple of weeks ago.
The outside temperature was right at the minimum temperature called out on the can, but I "assumed' that the garage was warm enough for it to adhere.
Well, I was wrong. I've got a couple of places where it didn't stick.
It's not catastrophic, but being the card carrying OCD member that I am, it will bother me.
What are my options? Peel it up and start over? My dad used to do a lot of Formica installs and he was a member of externally applied heat to reactivate the glue. I've got a heat gun so that's viable.
Thoughts?
