    We hated the gold laminate!
    Just too yellow in big sheet form and the small swatches they give you bear zero resemblance to the actual way light reflects off the finished product.
    So it's back to square 1 but with upgrades!

    I'm not fitting a stabilising back sheet coz it makes the door cards too inflexible and they are curved on the T3.

    So new cards cut and several coats of floor varnish applied to the rear of the cards.

    Tensor L40 contact adhesive in a cannister procured. I used this on Chip when we did him a few years ago but was talked into using Evostick 528 on G by the joiner across the yard.
    It's ok if you've done an apprenticeship and worked in the trade for 40 years but if not it's a messy pain in the butt.

    So to update this very slow thread, this was this morning's efforts. A breeze to be honest:rolleyes::cool:

    Piece of cake as it turned out. Now I've got to trim them and fit them but finally more progress...
