d-c-fix self Adhesive Peel and Stick Waterproof Marble Grey 26.5'' x 78.7"" Film Thicker Than Contact Paper for Kitchen and bathrooms countertops cabinets (FA346-8306)

We have a small countertop in our hallway that desperately needed some updating. The black granite was in great condition but just very dark. Marble slabs are expensive (I was quoted $300 without installation) and I wasn’t even sure if that was the look I wanted. This contact paper is a great price, relatively easy to install, and I think it looks great! It allows me to see what real marble might look like, and in the meantime it does a great job covering up the black.Installation: the roll wasn’t quite wide enough to be able to use one piece lengthwise, so I had to cut it into strips. I started with the back left corner and lined it up with the wall and the side, and then worked my way towards the front edge. Since the pieces were pretty small I found it easier to get it about 1/4 of the way pressed onto the countertop and then I just pulled off the rest of the lining and smoothed it out the best I could. It was easy to pull up and adjust as needed.I used a spatula with a soft plastic edge to press the bubbles out as much as possible, but there were still bubbles left. I had read that some users had luck with a hair dryer so I gave that a whirl but it didn’t work very well for me. Maybe I was doing it wrong? Who knows. In any case, what I found worked best for those pesky air bubbles I couldn’t press out was to poke a tiny hole in them with a needle and then press the air out that way. It left only very tiny pinpricks that I don’t think are noticeable at all.I struggled with the rounded corner and still am not happy with how that turned out. But, I have enough left over that I might pull that end piece up and try something else to make it smoother.The end result is fantastic!! I think it looks great. It’s thick and feels like it will hold up well. The slight gloss makes it look like an actual countertop. Husband was shocked when he got home. Highly recommend!!

I put this on my desk top and I use as a mouse pad. Works great and it was very easy to apply. Oh yeah, it looks good too.

For the price, it's a nice and easy alternative to replacing countertops. I'm happy with how it turned out. IOthers mentioned this and I should've listened - if it arrives creased, exchange it for a product that's not creased. You can't smooth the creases out. Not a huge deal but annoying. Make sure the surface is clean and use a felt squeegee/smoothing tool (plastic doesn't work as well as felt). I had some bubbles but it's not terrible. The seams (I had to cut several pieces) don't look bad. I plan to add latex/acrylic/silicone sealant on the edges/seams. I used a hot glue gun to adhere the edge to the underside of the edge of the counter.Measure the surface before buying and make sure you buy enough/extra material - I had to buy more because I needed just a little more. Thankfully I found the same item but had to search for it and buy from another seller.I anticipate it probably getting scratched/damaged and I hope it doesn't stain or melt (it's supposed to be heat-resistant up to 170 deg F). But for the price I paid, I don't expect it to last forever.

This is feels like heavy duty contact paper. Nice quality! I used it to recover counters in the home that my daughter rents. What a transformation!! I added silicone caulking around the sink to prevent water from getting under the edges. Added bonus is that it wipes clean so effortlessly! This is a super economical way to quickly get the look of new counters! There are lots of how-to videos available to help you do a good job the first time!

I bought this to temporarily refresh my kitchen countertops due to the original epoxy chipping off. It looks very nice, almost realistic. It has a glossy surface for easy cleanup. We have a few bubbles here and there but I think is based on the application method. I took my time and slowly peeled off the contact paper while pressing with my plastic putty knife (no bubbles) while my husband peeled it all off and used his putty knife to go over big sections at a time (bubbles). It's easy to peel off if you need to make adjustments but once you really get it on your surface, it sticks very well. The quality is good compared to others. I have 10x10 kitchen & didnt even finish the 2nd roll I purchased (picture only shows one side of kitchen).

Tranformed the entire look for low cost!! Love it! Decent application, may need 2 people to minimize bubbles. However, overall a good purchase. Cabinet are also wrapped.

The video makes installation look easy. It isn't. Two of us tried for 30 minutes to install this on a 2 ft. x 4 ft coffee table. We followed all the instructions. We couldn't get the bubbles out. We removed it and tried again. More bubbles. We tried four more times ... until the product ripped in the middle. We removed it, rolled it up, and threw it in the trash. A waste of time and money.

Air bubbles, vinyl be expanding when you pulled out
