7. FAQ
Q: Can HPL bond over melamine or existing laminate?
A: We do not recommend bonding to existing laminate or melamine covered surfaces because they are non-porous and often prove troublesome. If you decide to try anyway, follow these five guidelines (please noted, our warranty does not cover these applications):
1. Sand the entire existing laminate surface with coarse grit sandpaper and then clean the dust off. This creates scratches for the adhesive to grip into.
2. Allow the substrates and the glue to warm up to room temperature before use and perform all bonding at room temperature.
3. Ensure 100% of the area to be bonded is covered with an adequate amount of adhesive (see product label for specific coverage amounts); be especially diligent about coverage around the perimeter.
4. Do not try mating the substrates together too soon. The substrates will be ready to bond when the film of glue on each substrate feels tacky when you firmly press your fingertip onto it. The glue is NOT ready to bond and must dry longer if the glue is still wet or if any glue actually sticks to your fingertip and creates a rubbery “leg” as you pull your finger away.
5. After mating the substrates together, use a hand-held J-roller with as much manual pressure as you can bring to bear over the entire surface. Multiple passes are recommended.
Q: How much heat can laminate stand before it discolors? How hot can be a pan be before it ruins laminate by sitting directly on the surface?
A: As a rule, a maintained temperature of 285°F can discolor a laminate. Contact adhesives typically can be reactivated or soften at around 200°F, which will allow the laminate to pull loose. The reactivation or softening of a contact adhesive will depend upon the melt point of the rubber compound. Repeated heating may cause the laminate and adhesive to react and finally deteriorate after continual exposure to temperatures above 150 degrees Fahrenheit. A pan of boiling water may be accidentally placed on a countertop without causing damage, but a hot dry pan should never be placed on a laminate countertop, since the exact temperature of the pan is unknown.
Q: Do laminates fade?
A: Laminates will fade if exposed to direct ultraviolet light, such as from an open window or external exposure. All of our colors are actually checked in a Fade-Ometer to be certain that they will maintain their normal coloration in indoor use within acceptable limits established by EN-438.
Q: How should laminates be cared for?
A: All BODA Laminate, regardless of finish, should be treated and cared for in the same way. Wash it with a soft, clean cloth and mild soap, rinse well with water, dry, and the finish will last for a long time. A soft brush may help clean the more heavily textured finishes.
Q: How do I remove stubborn stains?
A: If a stubborn stain persists, the laminate can be cleaned by wiping with 409 Formula All-Purpose Cleaner, Windex, and Isopropyl Alcohol.
