Wilsonart® RE-COVER™ Laminate: Applications & Installation Guidelines
Applications
Wilsonart® RE-COVER™ laminate is engineered for interior use on flat surfaces.
- Painted Surfaces
- Particleboard
- Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF)
- Plywood with one A face
- Previously bonded high-pressure decorative laminate
- Low-pressure laminate (melamine board)
This laminate works beautifully in both vertical and horizontal installations.
Shipping & Storage
Shipping Options:
- Rolled in a Box: The adhesive should be rolled to the outside (decorative side in).
- Flat Shipped: The adhesive side must face down (decorative side up).
Storage Recommendations:
- For long-term storage, keep the laminate flat with the adhesive side down.
- Acclimate both the laminate and substrate in the same environment (recommended: 75°F and 50% relative humidity) for 48 hours before fabrication.
- If the laminate is rolled, unroll it during this acclimation period.
Surface Preparation & Repair
Clean & Prepare:
- Ensure all substrates are clean, dry, and free of residues.
- When bonding to an existing decorative surface, clean thoroughly using products such as Wilsonart® 110, 121, 130, 131, 131A, acetone, isopropyl alcohol, denatured alcohol, or ammonia-based cleaners (like Windex®). Avoid cleaners that leave an oily residue.
Repairing Damaged Surfaces:
- If the existing substrate is damaged, repair to achieve a smooth finish.
- Recommended repair products include J‑B Weld® WoodWeld, Elmer's® Carpenter's® Wood Filler, and Bondo® All-Purpose Putty (always follow the manufacturer's instructions).
- Sand and clean all repaired areas before applying the laminate.
Pre-Cutting & Cutting Tips
- Use carbide-tipped saw blades, router bits, or laminate slitters for pre-cutting.
- Always cut from the non-decorative (adhesive) side.
- When using a table saw, position the laminate face down (adhesive side up) for a cleaner cut.
Installation Guidelines
Sheet Alignment:
- When installing multiple sheets, leave a gap between them to allow for natural movement.
- Non-Controlled Environments: Minimum gap of 1/16".
- Environmentally Controlled Areas: Minimum gap of 1/32".
Important Note: RE-COVER laminate is not repositionable. Any attempt to adjust the laminate after placement can compromise the bond.
Handling Extruded Edge Banding
Choose from one of these options:
- Leave In Place: Apply RE-COVER to the top surface—this will expose the brown laminate edge.
- Replace: Remove the extruded edge banding and replace it with laminate edge banding as per manufacturer guidelines, then apply RE-COVER.
- Reinstall: Remove the extruded edge banding, apply RE-COVER to the top surface, and then reinstall the same type of edge banding following the recommended procedures.
For applications using 735 material exclusively, a minimum radius of 7 inches can be achieved.
Machining Post-Bonding
Immediate Machining:
- The bonded assembly can be machined immediately.
- For optimal results, use high tool speeds with low feed speeds.
Preparation for Routing:
- Score the adhesive side with a razor before routing to prevent the adhesive from rolling.
Cornering & Drilling:
- Avoid square-cut inside corners; use a minimum radius of 1/8".
- Drill oversized holes for screws or bolts and ensure they are slightly countersunk on the face side.
