Counter Contact Paper

This was one of the easier vinyl stick ons that I have used. We got it just to temporarily cover the counters while we save up for real marble. Decent quality, just a little bit too transparent. I don’t like that you can see the seams where the vinyl overlaps, the green laminate is peaking through. It’s got a very shiny finish and looks pretty realistic. If you go slow and scrape as you lay it, there really are very minor bubbles. Any tiny bubbles I couldn’t scrape out, I used a needle to poke and squeegee the air out of. I absolutely love the width of the roll. It made it so much easier to make the grain of the marble flow together. Im hoping that the adhesion will be durable around the sink but not too certain. There’s one spot that seems like it’s not really sticking already, i think it may have gotten wet. But overall, great product, just wish the color was a tiny bit more opaque.

I love the end results, you touch it up with white caulk it look like the real thing! It’s thick enough, the adhesive really sticks there.

This is a good strong heavy-duty product. I used it on a problem backsplash in the kitchen, as a temporary fix, and to assess the visual impact of replacing the backsplash with a similar but more costly permanent material. I found this product difficult to apply, both because of my inexperience and the location / accessibility of the backsplash itself. It would be much easier to apply this contact paper to a horizontal surface. I had quite a problem with bubbles and even tears as I had to reposition this paper a couple times. Use of a pin to reduce the bubbles worked well, especially when a hairdryer was used to heat the paper. Overall, this is a good product, requires some experience to be applied really well especially to vertical surfaces. I would also not use this on kitchen countertops where there is a lot of knife chopping and other potential wear and tear.

I used a contact paper from Home Depot about a year ago and it was super easy, I wanted to try something that was big enough for my counters width wise, and this stuff would look great if it worked. But I just could not get it to work. It kept getting this snags in it and there is no way to get them out once it does that. The air bubbles are impossible to work with because the stick is so strong that they have no where to go. I tried all different ways and nothing seemed to help, so disappointing! It was a complete waste of money for me, but it is a beautiful glossy marble, and would look great for someone who can make it work!

Perfecto

This paper has been frustrating and difficult to work with. I followed instructions and did my prep work, yet It doesn't stick well to the MDF I purchased to create a countertop for a mudroom. However, while initially laying it onto the MDF, my bottom corner folded under and stuck to itself. I had a heck of a time, working as gently as I could to undo it. Because it is so stiff and unforgiving, I had to trash the whole piece, recut and try again. I would not recommend this to anyone for any type of project, especially if you need to work with a large piece. Don't waste your time, effort or money.

Love the material, very soft and realistic looking. Harder to work with than other materials. Once it’s on it’s difficult to readjust. Hides blemishes pretty well

Very much liked the quality of the product. Went on great and looks great. VERY IMPRESSED!
