    Veneer, laminate, paper, ABS, PVC, foil "finish", or something else, if you have to guess. Maciej, the soothsayer, reportedly returned from vacation, ask?

    Wood glue, but you need to prepare the surface and then press it, so it is impossible to remove it without disassembly.

    I think PVC, because it has peeled off from the heat and has slightly shrunk.
    One of the sides.

    Aside, it is iron and press down :-) so that only the better half does not mature what you do with the ironer :cry:

    If PVC, then not an iron !!! You will spoil both. Dismantle the door and take it to some factory that produces furniture, you will pay PLN 5 and they will make a new veneer (the previous one has shrunk, you will not get back :cry: )

    Oh no yes, gentlemen, yes.

    Maybe I misrepresented the problem. The front with sides is covered with one sheet of veneer example .
    One side was detached from the heat. The carpenter could not tell me how and with what to glue it.

    As the veneer has peeled off due to the high temperature, the problem will come back. Reason? Such elements are factory "composed" of MDF board and foil with the use of specialized adhesives at temperatures around 130 ° C. If a piece of furniture is placed next to a kitchen with an oven, it often deals with temperatures of 180-230 ° C.

    Similar repairs can be made provisionally using double-sided adhesive tape under the foil. Unfortunately, it will be a temporary and ineffective action.

    Another way is to use strong mounting glue. If it will be used hot, you have to take into account that the PVC will "flow" at 150 ° C.

    More about adhesives here: [1] , [2] . Good luck.

    Ps The carpenter could not give a hint because such furniture does not have much in common with the art of carpentry and the most important ... do not harm. You just came across a real carpenter :D

    This cannot be glued in a meaningful way. You can patch it, but it will leave you anyway.
    The reason for this is not the temperature but faulty workmanship (opinion of a cousin-carpenter who works with these fronts on a daily basis). In my case, the veneers on all fronts of the cabinet in the room are gone, where there is neither moisture nor high temperature. They were of better quality in the kitchen, because they stick. Both are about 12 years old.
    The only advice is to replace the fronts with new ones. There may be a problem with the availability of the pattern and colors ...
    It is not very expensive, the fact depends on how many square meters of fronts you collect.

    Unfortunately, I confirm the opinion / observation of vorlog. The door veneers have peeled off all over the kitchen. Even on the drawers. It's not humid, it's not hot. If only that happened, there would be no surprise at the oven, but even on the cupboard 2m away ...?
    Any attempt to approach the problem "hot" will result in peeling / shrinking of the veneer. Anyway, it's some plastic (pvc?)

    There is nothing else but to improve after "fuchowcy" :D
    I once had a similar case with a Black Red White furniture. Despite the replacement of the tops, which was "gracious" after numerous attempts, the problem returned after six months, and I did not have the "courage" to re-inquire whether the president, co-operator, seller or warehouse worker was at fault. I just avoid this sign with a wide berth. Look at the manufacturer's label and treat the "peeling off" as a warning for the future :D

    This is not the fault of the company, but of technology in general. In my kitchen, the veneer peeled off after 13 years, and in the chests of drawers from another manufacturer after 3 years. A fellow carpenter was shocked that this veneer had lasted for so many years. The kitchen door was painted, and the manufacturer replaced the chest of drawers with new ones under the guarantee (taking care of a good reputation).

    Well, the company (through its employees) is foolish and does everything to convince the customer of improper use of the furniture! That's what I'm talking about :D

    It ended with the purchase of a new front.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the issue of reattaching kitchen cupboard door veneer that has detached due to heat exposure. Various responses suggest that the type of veneer (possibly PVC) and the method of attachment are critical factors. Wood glue is recommended, but it requires careful surface preparation and pressing, making it difficult to remove without disassembly. Some participants advise against using heat (like an iron) as it may further damage the PVC. Instead, they suggest using strong mounting glue or double-sided adhesive tape as temporary solutions. However, many agree that the underlying problem may stem from poor manufacturing practices, leading to a recommendation to replace the fronts entirely, especially if the veneer has shrunk or deteriorated. The conversation highlights the challenges of repairing such furniture and the potential need for professional help or replacement.
