Hey @arberry99! Thanks for your question. I did overlap the contact paper slightly to ensure a seamless look. However, in high-traffic areas, like where I place my cutting board, it did fade/wear out over time due to the slight elevation created by the overlap.
I’ve been thinking about doing this to my bathroom countertop but I’m wondering why no one is popping the sink out to lay the paper? Would this not make it better so water doesn’t get under the paper? Easier installation? Your advice appreciated, thank you!
That's an interesting thought! Popping out the sink might indeed make installation easier since you won't have to work around it. It could be worth considering for a smoother process.
I wish you would have showed how to do the corner triangle part of the counter .. it was the only reason i watched this and you skipped right over that
I appreciate your feedback! To be honest this part was what I struggled the most with. I'll make sure to cover the corner triangle part in my next video. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for making this it was very helpful. The end of my countertops (the side that touched you when you stood in front of it) is rounded, and I have two L-shaped corners. I am wondering how you managed your L-shaped corner, It looks like you did the middle at an angle?
You’re welcome! I'm glad you found the video helpful. This part of the project I struggled the most with, I’ll be making a separate video about it. However, I angled the contact paper in the middle to create a seamless transition. It might take some trial and error to get it just right, but I hope that helps!
Even the really old, really ugly counter tops look better. This looks ok from a distance but it's not practical and it's really bad up close, especially about a week after applying it
Looks nice, but won't last. Nothing hot, no sliding anything with a rough bottom, will scrape off finish. Will wear off the " finish" very rapidly. You'll have to have " safety" fine cloth materials under EVERYTHING you put on top of it...bottom line it won't last looking that good, not at all. But nice job!😊
