I have white MDF cabinets and the white vinyl (?) is peeling off on corners .Is the melamine glue a good fix?

If the white vinyl is actually plastic laminate (like formica) you would be better off using contact cement. This glue is designed to glue to a melamine surface, which typically is melamine plastic that in impregnated into the substrate (mdf) and doesn't really peel loose. Contact cement is what is typically used to adhere plastic laminate to mdf.

Try a product by the name of "goof off" It should take the glue off and not damage the floor. Use alittle at a time

I have had the same problem with the adhesive weakening over time, particularly with temperature fluctuations. I ended up using a double-stick foam tape (3M) , for longer-term results.

I forgot to mention, I did use contact paper on my counters and peeled it off with no problem, unless your counters are painted. :-)

You can remove it with a putty knife or even a kitchen knife. Get it started at a corner and it just peels off. Easy. No dMage.

I put them on my bathroom wall with wallpaper glue. I haven't seen any peeling yet??? It's been six months. I put a glossy craft application on top like Mod Podge. I'm sure you could use Liquid Nails that dries clear for other types of surfaces. Make sure you get the type for multi-purposes that dries clear

I think the shelves and solid panel sections are actually constructed of Masonite (or equivalent)--the difference from MDF being no glue or resins holding it together. I don't think it would last outdoors even with a good varnish. There are too many places where moisture could get into the board.

I have the same issue and don't think the plastic can be removed. I'd love to hear if someone has a suggestion for cleaning this area out as well.

You can try a mousse (sp) or a cheese cake. spray with pam so it wont stick to mold.

I agree with Galabb about using a LITTLE heat especially still this is paneling. Everything else may leave a residue on that spot. I'd tell you to use a putty knife or razor blade, but not on paneling unless you can match the stain you'll be taking off. For the next go around, try using 3M Scotch Command tape. It's removable and comes with a hook.

I would use double sided carpet tape instead of glue. No drying time, instant results, no mess.

Particle board or MDF with a black laminate. Do not remove plastic from laminate or it will lose its shine, become sticky and ruined. I love the cabinet and recently bought two more.

I've been using super glue specifically for metals that works great even on uneven surfaces. It's just the metal version of the cheap stuff, nothing really fancy

If glue down properly , it will last for many years . I put it down a year ago and it looks like yesterday !!!! Use plenty of glue provided . And I also used 25 year clear silicon !!!!

What kind of finish? How old are the cabinets? This will REMOVE the finish down to the stain, is that what you want to do? If so, this is the right product. Afterwards you can put on a new finish, like polyurethane. Good luck, Nancy

Super glue would probably be a waste of time, however, if you can get all the old glue off the plastic, try using 3M permanent double sided tape, which should work well. It's available at Home Depot or lowes, or maybe here too - it has the red dividing tape on it. Makes sure everything is clean and dry first, and it should work fine. Hope this helps.

Lightly sand it and just wipe clean. That's what I did. My cabinets are amazing!
