I have been using Speedtape (a peel and stick contact cement) for refacing cabs in existing houses, no smell, no mess, a bit pricey, but worth it in my opinion. Good for laminate repairs also.
March 11, 2008 at 11:02 am #36053Reuben Hoff IIIMemberThanks for that link Norm I will have to compare that to the PSA backed venners I use on reface jobs.
This might work good for those little tiny end cap I wait to do until we get to the job to assure good fit.March 11, 2008 at 11:45 am #36055Norm WaltersMemberReuben, I also use the PSA backed veneers when using wood doors for a reface, but when doing a reface with foil doors and VT laminate for the refacing material I use Speedtape. Sometimes on a reface, especially when you are trying to hit a price point, foil doors are the only viable option, plus it leaves them some money left over for a solid surface top
March 11, 2008 at 11:56 am #36057Norm WaltersMemberBelow are before and after pics of a reface I did with foil doors and a Staron top, 10K not including appliances, this was a referral from a realtor, the homeower couldn’t sell their house, it sold soon after.
March 11, 2008 at 12:43 pm #36059Andy GravesKeymasterDo you think you could use that in small pieces to hold backsplash on while the silicone dries?
March 11, 2008 at 3:08 pm #36071John ChristensenMemberNice looking work Norm. Are the cabinet doors new or re-worked?

Andy, I wouldn’t use if for temporarily holding splashes, I like to have a second or so in case you have to adjust something, hot glue gives you that opportunity.
Ad-Tech, a company that sells glue guns (was at the expo) had an adhesive on a roll and recommended it for temporarily holding splashes and such, I told them the same thing, nice to have a second or so of wiggle room.
March 11, 2008 at 4:52 pm #36079Andy GravesKeymasterThink about why you need a second to adjust it. You put on the silicone and then the hot glue. You move like your pants are on fire cause the glue is gonna set.
If you use the tape you can take all the time you need. Stick the end in the corner and slowly push to the wall. The tape wouldn’t have to be on the entire splash, just in two to three spots.
March 11, 2008 at 5:01 pm #36082Norm WaltersMemberAndy, the Speedtape is too thin to do this, its almost like a film, although the adhesive on a roll that Ad-Tech was selling had some thickness to it. I think you should buy a roll and do a review for the Fabnet.

Great idea Norm. Where do I get it?
March 11, 2008 at 8:01 pm #36094gabriel FERNANDEZMemberDouble stick tape is used for Swanstone shower wall installation. Works great as long as the drywall is painted before you try to stick the tape on the drywall mud..
March 11, 2008 at 8:23 pm #36097Norm WaltersMemberAndy, it is the same company that Kelsey did the glue gun review for, Ad Tech, Dave supplied that for the test I think??????????? Anyway they are the ones that showed me the tape at the expo.
March 11, 2008 at 8:30 pm #36098Jeremy HancockMemberYes, it is Al.
As a rule in my business, we refuse to sell Made in China glue or any products made with communist slave labor for that matter. If I did, then I could not complain about close to $4.00 per gallon gas.
March 11, 2008 at 8:32 pm #36099Norm WaltersMemberDave, as my son would say, “wow, that was random”
March 11, 2008 at 8:49 pm #36105Alan McWhorterMemberNo Al, it’s reality. When I’m lied to and then find out country of origin, I’ll dump there a$$ if it’s Made in China.
Don’t you have a FEDSAW something or other to pimp ??
