Hi folks,

I want to refinish and paint my kitchen cabinets, but before touching the doors I want to ask opinions on how to repair this peeling on edges of 3 cabinets. Looks like steam from the range and kettle did this.

I was thinking to trim off the excess bit that has peeled and expanded, then sand down and fill with wood/general filler before painting with bullseye 123. Is there a better approach?

You could always just glue it back on and clamp it down while it sets. I'd try that on a small section first, since it's probably the easiest solution. See how it looks, and then go from there.

Oh good idea, I never considered that because of how thing the veneer/film is. Would standard wood glue do the trick you think?
