Kitchen drawer is peeling at the top

blizeH

Any idea how to fix this please? The kitchen is around 10 years old but otherwise in perfect condition. We’ve tried super glue but it won’t stick

Here are some pictures:





Thank you

You wont fix it. It has de-laminated. Heat or moisture has affected it and this is the result.


New door!!!!

You could try some epoxy resin and clamp it down with a thin strip of wood on top of it to keep it flat.

Perhaps a warm iron or a hairdryer might soften the vinyl enough for it to be successfully glued down.

I have no idea if that will work but it might be worth trying, starting with a barely warm iron or gentle use of a hair dryer and gradually increasing the heat.

If the alternative is a new drawer then you have nothing to lose if it doesn't work or makes the situation worse.

I've never done that and it is perhaps a daft idea but I'll throw the suggestion out there anyway.

Please don't blame me if it goes badly wrong.

Araldite will do the job

As above. Epoxy. Use a piece of plastic sheet between the wood strip for clamping and the door edge though. I'd wax the plastic with spray polish as well.
Be sparing with the epoxy. Just enough to stick the edge down.
