Hi Keith, I'm an ex-floor layer. Just a cautionary note. Spray adhesives aren't always suitable for safety floor vinyl. You may find the adhesive goes mushy after a year or two, due to plasticise migration. A warm area tends to accelerate the process.

The texture comes from stainless filings embedded in the vinyl. Be careful as it may scratch things placed on top. It Looks great 👍
@granthepburn1587
@granthepburn1587 Год назад
The non skid vinyl you chose contains quartz aggregate and silicon carbide, also known as carborundum. Since the carborundum is manufactured and used as an abrasive it will wear any tool used on it. As a flooring installer we go through a lot of blades fitting this these types of products. A standard commercial vinyl would give you similar results but would be smoother. Nice thinking outside the box though and with the price of products now we all have to get a bit inventive now and then.

Looks great! Side note, boiling water will limit the pan temp to roughly 100* (rice cookers work by detecting when the heat rises above 100 which only happens when there is no water left). If you fry some onions, the pan will be much hotter.

@@RagnBoneBrown The bottom of an induction pan will still get as hot as a pan heated on a gas/electric stove, or certainly close enough anyway for the kind of test you are doing. Having dropped a VERY hot frying pan onto a vinyl floor though I can tell you that will likely damage it, especially on a pale colour like you have. Vinyl flooring as a working surface is pretty good though. I used an offcut of wood grain pattern flooring to make a protector for our dining table and it's worked great, it looks fine, is super easy to clean and has resisted hot plates, stains, spills etc.

Brilliant job, maybe not really the best for a kitchen, but perfect for a utility room or garage workshop, We use the same stuff to cover sales counters in places like car parts shops, trade counters, You'd still save money if you fitted the boards, then paid a decent floor fitter to fit the vynal and possibly weld the joints. (I've seen really God fitters repair that kind of vynal almost invisibly) Great job 💯

You can almost not leave the contact adhesive too long before forcing them together. Often did around 30 mins to 1hr. I never trimmed until the following day, laminate really thanks me as way less likely to chip. Also have to make sure the laminate is really heavily pressed to the edges. Oh the substrate for desk was 24mm birch ply. 😅

Hi Keith. Excellent video, and very inspiring. Regarding sheets that just won't stick (like at the join), I have a couple if ideas. If I know there wil be a problem, I might add a touch of hot-melt glue at the last moment in the problem area then press the sheet into place. The hot-melt glue would hold the sheet in place while the main glue sets. The other technique would be to put a pressure pad over the area that need pressing into place, add a pad on the wall opposite (if not too far), then use a long piece of wood to bridge the two pads like a spring, which would hold the sheets in place while the glue sets.

I have done this with vinyl tiles back when I had no budget or time for real tiles as a backsplash. I contact glued them straight over the old tiles. They had a nice grey industrial tile look and went on super tight. made my kitchen look super on trend with minimal effort(no removing and then dealing with cutting tiles) for a budget price. They were alright for a few years, but the heat from cooking made them eventually warp which made them bulge slightly around the trapped edges. Everywhere not close to heat they were still perfect after many years. So yeah, this is viable.

Excellent, Keith! Thanks so much for giving me a different idea on finishing a sewing machine cabinet top. It was covered by a very thin veneer, moderately damaged edges and lots of typical table top damage for a vintage piece. I was just going to refinish but, after I stripped the veneer, I really saw the edges damage was more extensive than I initially thought. That made me decide to remove the veneer totally. But, I was at a loss as to how I wanted to finish it. I looked at just replacing the veneer with new veneer but really wanted something which would not get the same damaged edges over time. Your idea of using flooring sounds great. I'll have to be careful to choose something with a smooth surface. Maybe I can even find a piece that looks like wood. That would be awesome. I really love how the room looks now! Great job, Keith!! I love watching you. Watching how you think reminds me of how my dad was in his workshop.Thanks again! Have a great weekend!! 😊

Hi Keith, it looks fine to me, and you have solved a problem that I was having, I am seventy-two years old now and it takes me a long time to get downstairs and I have built a table for one of the bedrooms and brought some of my kitchen items upstairs so that I don’t need to be up and down so much. I now have a full-size fridge, microwave, kettle, and a lot of small items, but I was trying to think of a good surface and laminate floor cover is just the ticket. I like what you have done to tidy up your space, but the one thing that lets it down are those taps and piping, a nice pair of taps and converting the pipework to pex so most of it can be hidden below your new worktop would be the cherry on the top.

Can't afford birch plywood... owns a domino joiner... Haha! Great video, man. I admire your craftsmanship. I would say that you had the perfect opportunity to add a little electrical outlet box underneath the cabinet as an offshoot from the visible one. It would have made it so that cable for the washer was not visible. I don't know what your experience with electrical is or what the law allows you to do as a homeowner in the UK, but the technical work is laughably easy to do with virtually no fire risk. The worst part of it is the drywall repair.
@L2M2K2
@L2M2K2 Год назад
Beyond the joke, and here possibly also the extra views given the theme of the channel, there is an obvious explanation. The efficient, if expensive, joiner is almost a necessity for a professional (for commissioned projects). Using currently very expensive material where it is not really needed or even beneficial is not a necessity (or even reasonable). Which is why people use edge bandings in general. Though, those are some really thick edge bandings ... and it is also not as if the moisture resistant MDF is a cheap core product (compared to, say, low density particle board, not to mention the cardboard-core countertop).
@RagnBoneBrown
@RagnBoneBrown Год назад
I bought the domino in 2019 for about £400 secondhand. I could sell it today and make about £200 profit. I call that a good investment. I don't get involved with electrical and don't mind the cable. It's a utility room. I wouldn't want it in my kitchen though
@RagnBoneBrown
@RagnBoneBrown Год назад
If the edge bandings were thinner, you would see the MDF from underneath. And the MDF was free as part of my recent sponsorship deal, so simply using what I have available but any substrate would work just as well

@@RagnBoneBrown I didn't mean to come off as judgmental or rude. I was just trying to make a little joke.

The tone doesn't always come through very well in text form! I really enjoyed your video. Cheers.

Another thought (maybe makes you angry after finishing, sorry): the wall behind the covering could easily fit a cable -> so installing another socket just under the top plate for the washer would have saved you from a visible cable. Maybe there are different regulations, but in Jerry-land it would be okay over here.

Boiling water at 13:50 is only going to raise the pot temperature to about 100°C. Try it next time with a cast iron on high heat for like 5 minutes. The pan should get to like 300+°C lol.

As I’m a floor layer you should’ve staggered the joint of mdf and altro then cold weld the joint Either type a if no gaps or type c if if you have gaps up to 2mm .but raw edges will curl in in time would of been better to is set to birch plywood

Great improvement mate, using what you had. Oh and biscuit/dowell/domino for a joint like that. Well rescued though.👍

Thanks mate. I'd have had a hard time in 6mm I think, unless I used pins as dowels or something. Should have gone to 9mm!

@@RagnBoneBrown Oh yeah, sorry bud. Totally forgot you said it was only 6mm. Thin bead of expanding/sticky foam is always a good way out. About 5mins for fixed grip👌

Get some brown paper and then use a hot iron on that edging. It will tidy it up
