Gouldian Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Hi bro, Have not done so for my present tank but I believe if you still need your cabinet to be at its present position, you can only remove and re-laminate the doors. Cuz, lamination is best done of a horizontal surface so as to ensure that the surface will be even / flat. After lamination, the corners will still needs trimming and buff to ensure that there are no sharp edges.

SRC Member supremo Posted October 23, 2007 SRC Member Share Posted October 23, 2007 the shop I went to at Bedok Road has the stickers. They have like 4ft width and even thin stips for edging. lots of colours too. It's in a place called Changi Complex in the corner of Bedok Road & Bedok Walk. There is a Buddhist Temple along Bedok Walk. It's very near the corner of Upper Changi Road. HTH Quote 1. Via-Aqua MultiSkimmer - $25.00 2. DIY Kalk Reactor - $25.00 3.
