Through the years, I've accumulated a fare amount of tools that I use for resurfacing kitchen countertops or cupboards with plastic laminate. If you are considering taking on a project like this-you may want to think again. Plumbers, wallpaper hangers, carpenters and cabinet makers all have tricks of the trade that make things go smoothly. In any case, I will be giving a brief overview of the tools that will be needed and what they are used for.

Sanders

There are three different types of sanders that get used during the Formica recovering process, the belt sander, vibrating palm sander and a sanding block. All three are used to rough up the surfaces of the existing laminate so that the glue will stick. The belt sander has another important task to perform, it's used for fitting straight edged pieces of mica to crooked and curved areas on the walls, ceiling and floors.

High-Speed Routers

When used in combination with a straight edged board and clamps, the router works great for cutting large sheets of Formica into the desired sized pieces needed to re-laminate the cupboards. The plastic is measured, marked with a pencil and the clamped onto the straight board. Using a bearing trim bit in the machine or a piloting bit-the cutter follows the straight edge of the board and cuts the Formica to the pencil marks. All of the new pieces of laminate are cut oversize and glued onto the respective cabinet parts. The router is then used to cut the oversize pieces flush with the kitchen cupboard's tops, bottoms, sides and face-frames.

Miscellaneous Hand Tools Needed:

• Hammer
• Putty Knife
• Paint Roller, Brush and Pan
• J-Roller
• Screwdrivers
• Tin Snips
• Diagonal Cutters
• Razor Knife
• Speed Square
• Carpenter's Square
• Clamps
• Hand Laminate Slitter
• Caulking Gun

Paper Cutter Optional

These work great for squaring off the thin strips of Formica that are used on the cupboard edges, top scribes, tops, bottoms, toe-kick plates and face-frames. The alternative is to mark the pieces with a pencil by using a speed square and cut them to length with a pair of tin snips.

Table Saw

This is an optional tool that is preferably used by most cabinet resurfacing professionals for cutting pieces of laminate. It is a much faster method than using tin-snips or a straight edge board combined with the router to cut the Formica to size.

Plastic Cut File

If you have never used a file before, getting the plastic laminate's edges nice and flush with the other surfaces is going to be a challenging task. This is where the experience of a resurfacing expert is really needed. The color coating on cabinetry Formica is really thin. During the filing process, one push or pull too many times can cut right through the color leaving an undesirable white or black line in the Formica's finish.

Shop Vacuum

When you are routing off the pieces of Formica, there will be thousands of little chips flying all over the place. You must keep the area clean by using a shop vacuum. If you don't, you will run the risk of getting small chips in the contact glue. If this happens, you will have humps underneath of the laminate if the chips are not wiped off prior to sticking them to the cabinet parts.

Necessary Supplies

Wilsonart makes a great contact adhesive that can be purchased from your local cupboard manufacturing supply company. Lacquer thinner is used for cleaning off the excess contact glue. It can be purchased from Home Depot or Wal-mart. Caulking will be necessary for filling in the small gaps. You can purchase colored caulking from your local cupboard supply company to match the laminate color. Gulf Wax can be bought from a grocery store and is used to protect the Formica from getting burned while the router is riding on the surface. You will also need to have forty grit sanding belts and sandpaper for roughing up the existing mica surface for the glue to adhere to.

Resurfacing a set of Formica kitchen cupboards is going to be a dusty and rather smelly job. Make sure that you have plenty of drop cloths on hand and a respirator type painters mask.

Can to Can in 60 Days

Let us start with the life cycle of aluminium can. Metals don't have life anyway. To make this passage interesting, let's assume that metals are living things

Here in a processing unit, an aluminium-can is born. Meanwhile let me tell you a fun fact, every 3 seconds, a human baby is born, in mean time 140 cans are born! Alright here a new born aluminium can goes to the self of a beverage store and ready to be sold. Someone purchases the beverage, enjoys it, and the empty aluminium can is thrown in a recycle bin. This scrap aluminium can is easily separated from other scrap and are taken for the recycling process. There he is melted in a furnace, rolled into sheets in mills and then new beverage can is made.
However this recycling process completes within 60 days. So after 60 days, the old dead beverage can gets a rebirth. He is back on the self again for business, yelling “I am back.” Yes the fact is aluminium never wears out, it can be recycled forever. “Aluminium never dies!” And the important fact about aluminium is that it never looses its properties. So a scrap aluminium-can becomes a new one in 60 days, it’s “can to can in 60 days”

Though this story is imaginary, the facts told about aluminium are true. That is, the scrap aluminium-can can be recycled within 60 days and reused as a new can without any loss in the metal properties. And aluminium can be recycled for many number of times. So if anyone sees an aluminium-can lying in roadside, it is not just a waste, but it is a living aluminium-can crying that “I am still alive”. So “SAVE THEM!”

THE RECYCLING PROCESS
The recycling of Aluminium can is a simple four stage process.

1. Shredding- Aluminium cans which arrive in bales are shredded into pieces to the size of a walnut in a shredder. The shredded pieces are then passed to a magnetic separator to remove the impurities.

2. Decoating- Decoating is done to maximize energy efficiency. Lacquer from the branded and decorated cans is removed by blowing hot air (around 500ºC) through the shreds in a decoater, on a slowly-moving insulated conveyor.

3. Melting- The hot, shredded, decoated aluminium is fed into the furnaces and melted. The furnaces have state of the art regenerative burners and a burner management system to reduce the amount of energy used.

4. Casting- Ingots are cast by tilting the holding furnace and pouring the molten metal- via a two-stage process to remove any remaining minute non-metallic particles and gases - into a vertical casting unit. Chemical composition and metal cleanliness are then tested on each cast. As the metal flows into the mould, it is chilled by jets of cool water being pumped around the mould, and a solidified outer shell is formed. The ingot solidifies gradually during the casting process, which takes approximately three hours. The ingots, which each contain around 1.6m used drinks cans, are then shipped on to a mill for rolling into the sheet from which can makers subsequently produce new cans.
Aluminum cans distinguish them as the most recycled and most recyclable beverage container in the world. An awesome 105,784 cans are recycled every minute nationwide.

In Cairo, keeping a musical tradition alive
Two craftsmen continue to carve the wooden lute-like ouds on a Cairo street that the musicians long ago fled to night clubs and cabarets. Orders are fewer, but their skills still sing. "Magdi, Magdi," the kid yells, running in off the street.
