I have just a couple small problem areas with my laminate on my cabinets and I hate to have to buy a 4 x 8 sheet to do the repairs. I need two pieces:
1 @ 18 inches by 3 1/4 inches and 1 @ 18 inches by 4 inches.

I only have a few small scraps and was attempting to piece together multiple pieces to make the repair, but it wasn't working well. The top section is obviously the biggest problem. The drawer just has chips in each top corner. I could probably live with that but I'd love to gave a full piece to replace it.

Does anyone have a scrap or two they would be willing to sell? It could be old original laminate or some leftovers from a new piece. Colors might not match exactly with fading, but that would be fine.

I'm in the Seattle area if anyone up here might be able to help. Otherwise, shipping on a couple small pieces shouldn't be too speady.

Thanks!

I decided to do the "patch it together" method. Came out pretty good.

That is probably the best you can do. There is no perfect match in laminate available, anyway.
