Kathy/Frank.........

Formica's a pretty tough surface.........I think that complete sanding is necessary before gluing the moulding to the surface......maybe using an epoxy.......then a special primer suitable for formica.........then your favorite paint.....

The door core is probably particle board so nailing the moulding just won't work.......doug

Depending on the type of molding you are going to use, contact cement will work well after sanding with a fine gritt sandpaper. Some small finish nails can also be used to help hold it in place.

Hi there Kathy & Frank,

How about using No More Nails and clamping molding until dry. Much neater finish.
