How to Install Laminate to a Table Top

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

In this video I'll show you how I installed some Formica laminate to a really worn down table top. This old dining room table has been beaten up over the last few years because I've been using it in the shop as a work surface. So I decided to add some laminate to the top for a cleaner look and as an added bonus, things like wood glue will not stick to it! I can clean up any of those wood glue drips with a chisel and a good wipe down.

    I appreciate the kind words! 😊 I’m glad you found the video helpful. I have definitely enjoyed having laminate on my work surface. Very easy to clean up glue/epoxy drips. Best of luck!

    Great video. You made it look easy enough for me to consider doing myself at some point. I had seen a video before and wasn't sure whether this was something I could do myself, but this certainly helps.

    Thank you! I definitely think you could do it. It’s a fairly simple process, especially if you do a little research beforehand. I’ve enjoyed having it on my work surface especially because wood glue does not stick to it so I can just pop glue drips right off after they dry. Glad the video helped! 😊

    Great video! What was the chisel too you used for the edges?

    Hmm I’m not sure exactly what you mean by chisels? Are you referring to the router bits I used? If so, I used a flush trim router bit to get everything flush then I used a chamfer router bit to slightly chamfer the edges. If this isn’t what you referring to then just let me know the timestamp in the video in regards to your question and I’ll try to give a better explanation. 😊

    I got this laminate from Home Depot. I had to order it online. It’s Formica laminate and it comes in different colors. Hope this helps! 😊

    ​@@rustydogandco You must have got the last one, because Home Depot list this as Out of Stock 😋 (luckily I was able to order it through Lowes!)

    Well shoot! It’s been a bit since I ordered it from there. I’m glad you were still able to find it at Lowe’s. Good luck with the install! 😊

    I bought the 32 fl. Oz. option for my project. I don’t think I used quite all of it but the smaller size definitely wouldn’t have been enough. So I would recommend the 32 fl oz option unless you have a ton of laminate to install.
