My wife has grown tired of the color of the formica counter tops in our kitchen. She wants me to put up some new formica on the existing kitchen counter tops. My question is can the new formica be applied over the top of the existing formica or will the old formica have to be removed before the new is installed. The old formica is about 15 years old but is in perfect condition without any noticable wear and is very well attached to the countertops. Removing the old stuff probably is going to be a PITA.
