Which Adhesive to Stick Plastic to MDF ?

[topgazza]

Hope this is the right section ?

So I have a bathroom vanity unit with a discoloured side panel not large at 80 x 31 cm. Not in full view but needs re-covering to smarten it up. I have looked at Formica...very expensive but then found an excellent website selling and cutting all types of white plastic sheet to size

They do a coloured acrylic sheet, rigid uPVC and Polypropylene sheets around 1.5 - 3mm thick and all in gloss white. Looks OK and I have ordered some samples to be sure. I've also asked them what adhesive would they recommend to stick the sheet to the MDF as being plastic there are of course limits.

But I thought I would ask the many good folk here if they have any suggestions please ?

your best bet would be contact adhesive applied to both surfaces but you will only get one shot
or you could just try thin layer of silicone and tape in place

I thought about contact adhesive... and like putting a screen protector on a phone... as you say, just the one go to get it right. Just concerned about anything that would "eat" into the plastic. But 3M do a couple of spray ones they say are OK.

contact adhesive wont work on Polypropylene sheet just checked but fine on other plastic http://www.farnell.com/datasheets/2032646.pdf?_ga=1.249806464.761138427.1479759850
might be worth trying one of the spray ones on a small piece

I used to use Farnell all the time as well as RS Components. Good spot and very interesting datasheet. Thanks for that I'll do that
