I'm interested in repairing laminate on a side table. It has water damage that caused the wood to swell and the laminate to peel. It's high end and would like to sell it but not sure if it's feasible. What are your thoughts? Could I apply a laminate and achieve a sellable quality? Any specific tools and would time and materials be too much to expect a return?
I ended up googling the door issue and found that it is an issue with homes that have a central return, which mine does. The recommendation was between 1 to 1 1/2 inches gap! There was also a product that was as basically a baffled vent that you could insert into a door that they tested in one article. The explanation makes sense, basically without a path for air return it creates a pressure issue in the room reducing the effectiveness in that room, putting strain on the blower and also forcing air through other paths. And inch and a half is crazy to me, however, for privacy and noise. I am for sure going to make the gap bigger, maybe shy of an inch, but I have two small kids that I don't want peeking under doors.
As for you question, can you post some pics of the table? I have not done any fine veneer work on furniture, but I can see if there is anything I can offer if I have a better idea of he damage and extent of the work.
