Ft. Lauderdale, Florida
SUBJECT
Try this one on your next kit. Formica the
Cabinet.
PROCEDURE
• Buy the Mica cut to the
size you '11 need (I often buy
5'xl2' sheets and have
them cut into quarters, to
prevent waste).
MURPHY'S LAW
#1207
• Rough the sides of the
cabinet with the roughest
sandpaper you can find (to
~ cut through vinyl laminate.
i.e. Centipede, etc.).
• Then use a notched trowel
or a roller to apply contact
cement to both surfaces.
• Let dry and bond.
• Apply trim to the cabinet
with a router (use a bit with
a bushing instead of a
bearing. This will handle
the glue without damaging
the trim).
Oa
• Replace the T-molding.
• Put the freshly painted
coin door back on and don't
forget a little silver paint on
the Locking Bars, hasps
and even the padlocks.

NOTE
I recently had a Shinobi in a red formica (Joust)
Cabinet next to one in a new Dynamo cabinet
and there was no comparison in the appearance.
