NOTE: COMPLETE ONE OPENING AT A TIME.

Apply pressure sensitive veneer or laminate to the inside face frame edge

• Inside Face Frame Edge

  • Cut veneer or laminate to length to fit inside edge of stile. Width of veneer/laminate strip should allow for trimming flush with stile after installation.

  • Peel back just enough backing from the top of the strip to anchor the strip to the inside edge of the face frame.

• Make sure the top edge of the strip is flush and square with the top of the face frame opening.

• Then press and lightly smooth downward, peeling the backing off as you go. (Be very careful to get it lined up right the first time, because the special adhesive makes it very difficult to get off!)

• After applying veneer/laminate to inside edge of stiles, cut veneer or laminate to length to fit inside edge of rail. repeat application steps above.

• On bottom rail, match bottom rail's inside edge when applying the veneer or laminate, because you will not be able to easily trim this edge.

• Trimming Overlap from inside face frame edge.

  • Using a razor knife, trim the overlap excess inside and outside edge of the opening from both stiles and rails. Use the face frame edge as a guide.

Apply pressure sensitive veneer or laminate to the face frame

Trimming Overlap from Stiles and Rails

• Using a razor knife, trim the overlap excess inside the opening from both stiles and rails. Use the inside of the face frame as a guide (Figure 10).

• Trim the overlay from the top and bottom of the cabinet (Figure 11).

  • Using a straight edge, align it flush with the inside of the stile, extending over where the rail butts the stile.

• Use straight edge as a guide and cut all the way through both the layers of pressure sensitive veneer/laminate (Figure 12).

  • Using the tip of the razor knife, remove the rail excess.

  • Again using the tip of the razor knife, gently raise the pressure sensitive veneer/laminate off the rail and remove the excess trim from the stile (Figure 13).

• Gently smooth the rail pressure sensitive veneer/laminate back down to the stile. The veneer should meet smoothly where the rail and stile join together.

• Repeat on other three corners.

• Using sanding block with 150 grit sandpaper, sand one direction toward the inside of cabinet box clean up the edge of the pressure sensitive veneer/laminate even with the inside of the cabinet face frame (Figure 14).

• Using the veneer smoothing blade or plexiglass scraper, apply as much pressure as possible to the pressure sensitive veneer/laminate. Go with the grain (Figure 15).
