Moving the pad is inexpensive, reversible, relatively easy. The other good suggestions are still open to you. |

Posted 7 Oct 2018 8:32 am Repair suggestions for Formica
|
|
For a quick repair I would select some solid material the same thickness of the formica layer, Cereal box, Packing material, Plastic lid from peanut butter jar or such. Cut it to fit the chip. Then just cover it with black duck tape or such. I would not put any glue or such on the wood, Could affect the final fix.
The only sure fix is replace the Formica. It will not be a 5 minute fix. Finding a perfect match in color and appearance. Removing fixtures (pad, bolts and such. Then removing the Formica, cleaning the surface, Applying the Formica and trimming to fit.
Good Luck on this project, And getting the Boo Boo off your baby. |

Does the pad go all the way to the endplates? If so you might just replace an inch of the back edge of mica. Replacing the whole back deck is much more involved than it might seem. The endplates would need to be removed and the thin step mica between the necks would be on top of the back deck mica.
