Anywhere that sells home remodeling materials. Try Home Depot or Lowes first.

Tim,
Try Home Depot,Lowe's,or any builder supply. If you need a small amount it may be cheaper to have a cabinet shop cut what you need.

I believe you'll find that high gloss will be special order for any building supply house. They typically carry the laminate that would be used as a counter top material, and that's not high gloss.

Tim,
Check with a local cabinet shop if you haven't already ordered it.

Tim their are 2 different grades horizontal and vertical, and it is very important to get the right one!

I can't remember which one I used on my PSG I am wanting to say horizontal ( I may be wrong), it was the right one though, the idea is that if it is wrong when you go to glue I think it could buckle.

Also the thickness is important as well, once again I forget how thick, but it is crucial.

I did get my Formica, from Home Depot, Your Steel can now match your kitchen!
