@lat3llc OK, I am ready to talk. I have about 35 sf of countertop, and a 15 sf of table top to cover. 9549774292

Thanks for posting this, very helpful.
Why are people saying to put the edge strips first? Seems they'd get damaged when trimming the laminate on the top. Just wondered.
-
the edge strips should be applied first and then they will be covered with the surface sheet also the seam will not be exposed to water.

Just what I needed. I'm an experienced wood worker, but have never put laminate down. This makes the task clear.

Before you use the table saw to cut your laminate, always make sure your blade is on the correct way!!

Great video, not many others show it from start to finish. One question though - what about joins in the laminate? My area is too big for one sheet and so need to join two areas of laminate together. Do I just do it as it says and then treat it with something?
-
IMPORTANT! Always glue the edge on FIRST before you put the large piece of laminate on the top.

Great , Thanks
lilkunta: To do the job yourself with sheet laminate costs much less than $1,000 in materials, but you'd still need the tools. To cut out the damaged section and replace would be tricky, and likely require a router to make a straight cut in the plastic, which would also cut into the plywood, requiring further repair. Then find a perfect color match, cut the sheet to fit exactly. Even then it's almost impossible to disguise the seam. This is why pros would prefer to re-cover the whole thing.
