Some details please? What are you using as a laminate? Cage dims, floor lamination or entire cage?

I've laminated several cages with formica, always done it in the building stage before, never in a already assembled cage. I use water based contact cement. Can be messy and you truely only get one try for placement. put it on wrong and might as wee scrap the part.

Lowes is a good source and usually has the common colors. I find that my tastes for an enclosure and the tastes of the general public's kitchen's differ ever so slightly. I would also look around for custom cabinent places and places that specialize in custom countertops. Often they have an impressive on-hand collection, as well as cheap scrap material. Just a thought.
