Re: What glue to use for melamine onto wood cabinets?

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @jackndiane. It's wonderful to have you join us and many thanks for your question on attaching melamine to wood cupboards.

 

Melamine typically comes in laminate form with an adhesive pre-applied, which is activated with heat. If you have melamine without adhesive, then a contact adhesive would be the best choice for glues. 

 

The process generally involves applying adhesive to both surfaces and then waiting for them to become tacky. Once tacky, they are bought together, and weight is placed on them until the glue sets.

 

If you can provide a few more details on your project, our helpful members might have more advice to offer.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Re: What glue to use for melamine onto wood cabinets?

Hello @jackndiane 

 

It is a laminate material that is attached to your door. I suggest using the contact adhesive suggested by Mitchell as it is designed for use with laminate materials. The Titebond glue you mentioned is for timber-to-timber contact only and will not work on the laminate material.

 

If you need further assistance, please let me know.

 

Eric
