Our lower cabinet work in the gaucho seating area was suffering from delamination due to moisture and age. At a glance they looked ok, but the storage locker lid was loose and the veneer was curling in a number of spots. Once I removed the cabinets I discovered the delam was even worse than I thought.
I decided to try Titebond III waterproof adhesive -- available from Lowes -- it has enough open time to allow you to drizzle it in between the plies and still secure it with clamps.
The plastic veneer surface cleaned up well with 3M plastic cleaner.
Oh, and it all started when I was checking out the fresh water system and found some split copper lines....might as well ...
