Laminating Large Sheets On Walls

05/20/2012


From original questioner:

I have been asked to install laminate over existing laminate on some commercial use walls. I have done allot of full up back splashes, but need some advice on gluing a 5x12 sheet to a wall. Back splashes I ussally set them on wet contact adhesive and wait for them to flash off before sticking it. I have heard you can use a tile of flooring adhesive? with the ability to move them around a bit before they are set. ALl replies are appreaciated.

You mean plastic? 6 mil 1 mil or what? IS that your slip sheet? How to keep it from
tearing on pull out. Please Expand.
Thanks

I think it was the heavier material. It did not tear on pullout we used fast bond 30 it does not grab as much.

If you can talk them into a upgrade then use 1/2 and z clips--next time they want to change all they have to do is take t he panals down have them recovered and bingo
