Formica
Let me tell you something people... On a gold crown one I don't know how they did it... I have been in the cabinet building ind for over 23 yrs. And the Formica on a gc1 is not ment to be removed. Some how they grew the Formica and the wodd under it together.. Because they are fused together.hehehehe.. Heat gun just pisses it off.... I had to maticoulously belt sand and hand scrape and long board the formica off. I have a cabinet shop with just about every tool known. I hope when anyone attempts to do this kind of resto. There ready for a battle...if you not good with a belt sander don't even try it.....let me tell you one word...(finnesse).
Good luck on who tries this on a gold crown one.....
