No resistance to heat. A laminate countertop does not have the ability to resist heat and burns. It can crack if it is exposed to hot objects such as hot skillets or a cup or steaming coffee. A laminate countertop requires the use of trivets and place mats when putting hot objects on its surface.
Start Clean. Before removing the laminate, clean the piece to remove anything that could transfer onto the desk or table. If the furniture is real wood, old ink or crayon marks could seep into the wood fibers when they are heated during the laminate removal process. Use caution with water.f the item is very large, cut the raised laminate with a sharp knife, and remove it to keep the area more manageable. Avoid breaking the laminate, as this can create a knife-like sharp edge. If lifting the laminate requires a lot of effort, it is not hot enough.
