i need help lounge, i already looked it up so i'm asking for a little assist if you would.
I need a stainless steel veneer panel for my dishwasher. I have looked on the web until i started seeing the same links over and over again. All i need is something stainless or maybe sheet metal that looks like stainless steel that could be applied with adhesive instead of screws.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

13. Well, if you have a piece cut,
which should be faily inexpensive BTW, make sure they know you need to have all sides totally de-burred. They cut sheetmetal on a shear, and it leaves a "burr" on the edge that is quite sharp. Even still, be carful handling the piece. Good luck.

11. Seems like I've seen that application a lot of the home-selling curb-appeal shows.
Have you looked at HGTV etc?


Other than that, I'm dry. This is probably nothing you haven't thought of, but I'm in debt for the sheet-folding video. ;-)

12. i haven't looked specifically at the hgtv web site for a panel yet, i tend to wander
when i get there and then i forget why i went on their web site to begin with. They have so many things to look at, like too many good things.

14. Check your local yellow pages for the closest union shop.

Look for kitchen or hospital vent fabricators.
