Anyone know where to buy laminate/formica scraps or small pieces in Ottawa?
I'll be resurfacing the control panel of the pitch & bat I'm going to restore, rather not buy a 4'x8' sheet.

The Habitat ReStore has two locations and this seems like the kind of thing that might be available. If you did have to buy a full sheet, you definitely wouldn't be paying full price for it. https://habitatgo.com/restore/

A piece 24” x 7” will fit. The original Is a light coloured wood, some kind of lighter wood grain would be ideal.

Offcuts I have would be solid colors (gray, off white...) or faux granite. I'd have to dig around to confirm condition, size, etc. You're welcome to anything I have.

Thanks for the offer! I will want to stick to a wood grain pattern. Worse comes to worse I'll buy a 4' x 8' sheet.

Re: Laminate/formica offcuts/scraps
I'm going to try something different. Bought a piece of quarter sawn white oak from KJP Hardwoods. Going to make a new control deck, we'll see how it turns out.
I had them thickness plane it to 1-1/8". Even with Father's Day coming up I couldn't justify buying one of those.
