    Have you ever heard of spraying the surface with soapy water before sticking the paper? We did that when replacing the camera paper tops on boat dashboards. It allowed me to move the paper and squeegee out bubbles easily. I don't know if the paper used in the video may be too thin.

    THANK YOU for mentioning caulking! I see so many contact paper countertops where no caulking is used and all I can think about is how much water must get under them. SUCH a good, cheap tip. Extra important around areas that get wet often, like the sink.

    • @josettesantana5169
      @josettesantana5169 ปีที่แล้ว

      Actually I didn mine without caulking and it never took in water or lifted either. If you take your time and let it stick appropriately with enough heat the adhesive holds so well that water isn’t an issue.

    I have already done three of my smaller countertops. Since they were on both sides of the stove, (heat) I first applied schmears of gorilla glue mainly near the edges and seams. I also lightly sanded and applied Polyurethane (rolled and tipped with a foam brush to remove any roller bubbles) all over the top...four times! Roughed up with 220 between coats. The finished surface is like glass...I am now preparing to do the long buffet counter (90") that separates my kitchen from the dining room. Patience and easy does it!! Love the blow dryer suggestion.

  • @josettesantana5169
    @josettesantana5169 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I did it in the rental I was in and it came out amazing. It definitely is durable. But like you said you have to search for the ones that are the best water and heat resistant. The 3 years I was there it never lost its shine, or it’s coloring. It withheld like a champ, and let me tell you we do a lot of cooking in my family. As you said it was so easy to clean off. Just like a nonstick pan.

    I have found using a hand held clothes steamer and a microfiber cloth. It works amazing for wrinkles and bubbles. Just be careful not to burn yourself. Use the steamer over the area first, pull the steamer away, then wipe the spot with the cloth and push the air to an edge to release it.

    I LOVE IT! I installed faux granite contact paper on my kitchen counters. NO ONE CAN BELIEVE it is fake! That was probably 2 years ago. It is looking a bit "used" in some spaces. I use essential oils and when the oil gets on the "paper" it has "removed" the design in those spots. So, yeah. But I got the paper on a HUGE clearance sale for $5 bucks a roll and bought the two rolls that were on this sale. It has been a REAL blessing. My actual counters are an avocado green color that I have despised for 8 years. So now, 10 years later since I began renting this home, it is time to try MARBLE! teehee! I am going to be ordering some of this paper you have shared! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

    Thanks for a great video. The previous owner of my home tried to do a DYI marble look counter top using paint, and it's terrible! I want a live edge wood countertop, but don't have the $$ for that right now. So I'm considering doing this vinyl as a temporary measure until I can save for my wood slab counter. This definitely was more encouragement for me! Thank you.

  • @DiannMMorales
    @DiannMMorales 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I did this on the countertops in the first house my husband and I bought. In 1974! The counters were ugly and it made a huge difference. I don't think any of the thicker ones were available back then. Recently, I bought a high boy dresser to paint black and discovered the drawer fronts were plastic. No matter what I did, the drawer fronts looked bad. I got a thicker black woodgrain one to cover and the difference in how it looks is amazing! Now, it looks pretty classy!
    BTW, great tutorial! You covered everything I learned in the process. The blow dryer works great. My drawer fronts have a curved bow front and using the blow dryer to make it stretch a little over the drawer top and bottom kept me from having creases and folds. Patience while doing it is very helpful as you have to do a little at a time.

    Hi new subscriber I like yr video..
    I would suggest when you do caulking if you want it to be even put painters tape around the sink on the sink and counter top and just leave an opening where you want the caulking to go.. then once you're done caulking just pull the tape up and you have a straight line with out trying to do it with your fingers

    Over the years I became excellent and installing contact paper and Border paper and for the first time ever I watch your episode with the blow dryer and that was like oh my god I've never thought of that it was like riding a bike for the first time!! Exciting!!!!.

First time it looked crappy, 2nd much better but I’ve decided to do it a little darker. The white shows every air bubble and of course I can’t not stare at them. It makes me irritable. So….3rd times a charm. I buy the cheaper paper so basically it’s just my time I’m wasting. And I have fun doing it so….there’s that. Anyway, you should do it. If u don’t like it, take it off. It’s not permanent! JUST DO IT!!!! Lol!

    I have a countertop that has a rounded edge. Any ideas how to install the contact paper to a round edge? I rent so can't replace. Thanks!!!😁😁

      The heat to form the vinyl to your rounded edges should do the trick!

      I was wondering tge same thing. My bar top is rounded on the edge. Now that is what scares me. Good luck.👊💛🌻

      If it’s rounded the long way then cut a strip for the edge

    Can you apply epoxy on top the vinyl contact paper to add more resistance to scratches?

    So funny! I had an old table who was very strong still, and I didn’t want to dispose of it, so I just put contact paper thru it. It looked perfect 👌

    When you add the caulking, does it change how easy it is to remove the contact paper?

    Can you use it over actual granite. There's nothing wrong with ours other than I don't like how dark it is, so am considering doing this.
