Any suggestions for this fix

The formica has peeled up on one rail on the inside edge. The lifted edge is about 18 inches long and maybe 1 inch deep at the most. I'm thinking superglue and clamping, not sure if that will hold though.

Since its on the edge it's easier. Take a heat gun and putty knife, heat the formica and gently lift the formica enough so you can work a putty knife with adhesive into the bad area.

Use contact cement. Work it into the area. A thin film is what you are trying to achieve.

Clamp area. Make sure all air bubbles are worked out. Work toward the seam/end and wipe up any that oozes out.

Let it sit clamped for 24 hours.
