I have a cupboard as an extension to my desk. The edges of the left hand side have a laminated strip. On both edges of the back and front, the laminate has peeled away, two or three inches of it. It feels as though the adhesive has dried out.
I want to glue it back but glue on glue?
Anyone have any useful suggestions?
TIA
Wedge it open as best you can, scrape the glue off as best you can, then put some more glue in the gap with a knife and glue it back, holding it in place with a bit of masking tape
Evostik solvent based contact adhesive if an iron doesnt sort it
If its hotmelt: iron it back on? Once hot, rub/press with a cork or wood block until cool.

I solved a similar problem with thinly applied PVA adhesive, then cramp or tape in place. I decided that as I'm getting increasingly clumsy, scraping off the old adhesive was likely to do more harm than good. Finished job looks good to me.
I've had that on desks. Superglus has always worked well.
Yes is it near anything hot like a heater, often the edges curl and that is why it comes off. Sometimes some very careful pin nails can help, but its a common problem. Brian
it tends to be stuck on with a very thin layer of hot melt glue. iron it back on.
