thanks! I can see how that could work. The laminate is worse than lifted, though. It's peeling and cracking on one corner. I'll give this a try but I may be back.  I appreciate the suggestion.

Yes.  Look for some good glue at Lowes/Home Depot.  Construction grade Elmers wood glue, or better.  Get a piece of 3/8" plywood about 1' x 1' and some popsicle sticks and some clamps. 

Use the popsicle sticks to lift the laminate just enough to put glue under it and to spread the glue.  Clamp initially and clean up all the glue that squeezed out.  Use the plywood and clamps to hold it all together for 24 hours, or more. 

You might ask the clerk if he has a better glue for your purpose. 

You might also need to put saran wrap down to keep the plywood from sticking permanently.

Hi everyone!

I've been quieter on here because I'm traveling in the pod and only have intermittent internet. I'm headed west finally!

Anyway, I try hard to keep up with cosmetic wear and tear on my 2016. I'm having a problem with my counter top and I'm wondering if anyone else has had this. The marble look covering is peeling up from the hard surface in a couple of places on the edges (on the corners where it gets bumped). I am not up to replace it altogether but I'm wondering if there's a more basic fix to keep it form getting worse. My dad would have run a 1" piece of duct tape all around the edge and that would have solved the problem at least for a while. I don't want to do that...exactly. Anyone else have any thoughts?

Thanks!

Julie
