Not welding I know but someone here may be able to help.
I fitted a new kitchen a year ago with laminate worktops and upstands. Just noticed today that the laminate on the upstands is lifting from its backing. There is no noticeable damp in the backing and it is still flat. The worst area is near the sink but the remainder of the 3m length was fitted on another wall away from heat, water etc. and it is starting to do the same.
Can anyone suggest how to refix it as the edges of the laminate are not accessable. I had thought of a small hole and injecting a glue using a hypodermic syringe but what glue to use. Or would heat from an iron stick it back?
In the mean time I have taped over the joint to keep any damp out.
I am still waiting for the supplier to get back to me as it should be coverered under guarantee but I suspect they will just supply a replacement upstand but not pay for the repair or making good of the tile and platser work. SWMBO is not a happy bunny.
Any help would be most appreciated.
