Refurbishing caravan table


We have decided to make a new caravan table to suit us better than the old original... done that but what I need now is to find someone in Brisbane - North side  that will laminate the top and edges at a reasonable cost -- any one any ideas or recommendations - they would be much appreciated thanks you

Meggsy, laminating a table is quite a simple exercise. Have a go at it, you may well surprise yourself as to how well you do. 

Look up the internet for tutorials and tips on how to go about it.

Hi, I would call into a couple of local cabinet makers, The Kitchen type of manufacturers. They may have left overs from a large job or two that may suit that could save a bit.

Can't suggest anyone in particular as Brisbane - northside covers a pretty fair distance.

Mike.

Try this repairer, can not speak high enough of him.

Did maintance on the interior for us, would never known he repair the problem.

Then hit by hail storm did an awesome job of bringing caravan back like new.

A very handy young chap.

I agree with The Phantom, look at the examples on 'you tube' and have a go.

if you made the new table you should find the laminating well within your capabilities.

There always has to be a first time to attempt something new.

Looking forward to seeing a photo of your finished work.

Good luck. Colin

Just about any cabinet maker should be able to help you with offcuts.  I used to work for Laminex Industries (many years ago) and they used to sell half sheets with the smallest being 1800mm x 750mm in post forming grade which is really easy to work with.  If you do it yourself, most tutorials will show to use a gel or spreadable type adhesive, but a brushable adhesive is a lot easier and faster, you can also use the sprayable type with a brush.

Another thought could be Mister Ply Wood here's some contact details for their Brisbane Stores:
