Looking for opinions on whether I should removed existing woodgrain vinyl from a cab before applying laminate.
The last cab I did I stripped down to the wood, put on polycrylic and applied new vinyl which took a lot of time and was a pain. Using vinyl I was more concerned about the surface being smooth since it shows every bump but wouldn't have that concern with laminate.
The only downside I see is if the existing vinyl starts to peel off with the laminate attached to it but that Atari woodgrain vinyl is such a b*tch to get off I can't see it going anywhere. Thinking maybe I just sand it down to rough up the surface and throw laminate over the top.
Thoughts, anyone done either or both ways?
Thanks!
