How to install Contact Paper Countertops for a gorgeous marble look | The DIY Mommy

@Dee Caudill what is the glaze ? Would love to use it

[@carlaspeer3825]

What kind of "glaze coat"? is there a brand?

[@klac8500]

For smaller pesky air bubbles, it helps to take a very fine needle and puncture them ever so slightly so that you can push out the air with a spatula afterwards. Once they are all out, a sealant to top it off (such as Dee suggested below) prevents anything from penetrating back into that pinhole. :) This looks like a fun project! Thank you for sharing!

[@KenneceShakiAvon]

Brilliant!

[@josettesantana5169]

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.

[@AB-oh2nf]

When you were renting, did you caulk the paper? If so, was it removal?

[@patsypryor9850]

my mom was the contact paper queen in her day! I still have boxes that she beautified to stack pretty organization in your closet or for memoribilia. awesome!

[@StephenPicardi]

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.

[@dianecameron6270]

Christina, a quick tip for caulking - if you add a couple of drops of dish soap in the water, it makes the caulking smooth out really easily. Nice job.

[@robinb7067]

You can also use the back of a plastic spoon to smooth out your caulk bead, less messy than your fingers.

[@coleenmumley2713]

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.

[@Samantha-wu5vn]

You can Glaze with Diamond Finish Clearcoat and it will be hard as a rock and last forever. It's expensive but, will give you a more permanent fix and doesn't yellow. Need a lot of ventilation. It will look like glass and real marble......

[@terrimurphy39]

Thank you for that top!

[@lynnlamar51]

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.

[@wmhfv992]

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]

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.

[@giovannadi1762]

It’s so funny that this popped up this morning! I am working on helping my parents upgrade their kitchen at their office building and the counter top is...... less than desirable.... especially after we got new floors and painted the kitchen. I had sent my mom links to contact paper for the counter and we were talking about doing it in the spring when the weather is better and I paint the cabinets. Now I have a lot more information from you and something more to show her. Thank you!

[@thediymommy]

Glad this came at the right time for you. Have fun with the rest of the makeover!

[@MariaLuisaBeauty]

I’ve been watching a million videos on how to update my kitchen countertops on a budget and I think this is the best solution! I can’t afford new ones right now so I was going towards painting them but that looks a lot messier. Thank you so much for sharing! 🙂

[@thediymommy]

You're welcome!

[@bbsal4031]

I am the same, don't have a lot of money to spend right now. I'm either going to do contact paper or some kind of paint.

[@emilymorgan1707]

This looks great! We're buying a house that needs a lot of updates/reno, so countertops are not too high on the list. I'm planning on doing this as a short-term fix until we can get real ones.

[@Optimist_Insan]

Very interesting project. My fear is always about overlapping corners and side by side installation that may leave gaps. Thanks for sharing!

[@alissam4296]

This brand is very durable! I paint on top of it everyday in my studio. I used this brand but in a bamboo wood style to cover a folding table that I converted into a drawing table for my art studio. I didn’t do the folding method on the sides. Instead, I measured it to fit perfectly, laid it down, and then finished the edges with small white tiles and grey grout-yep! I took it that far lol. Then, I wrapped silver yarn very tightly around the legs to elevate the look, and placed a wire basket with some extra brushes, paint, and some faux greenery underneath the table on each side. You would never know this wasn’t an expensive piece of furniture. I highly recommend the contact paper!

[@thediymommy]

Amazing!

[@f1103889]

Looks fantastic, I would definitely use it in my little kitchen. I have a plain white countertop which stains so easily. This would be a great budget friendly solution for me! Thank you, from Australia 🇦🇺

[@trudygoulet-jones1700]

I have used a marble look contact paper in our master bathroom- which was a black laminate. It was tricky as their were 2 sinks. It worked - looks great and brightened up the room. It’s been almost a year and is holding up great.

[@JD-oz4om]

Does it actually feel like marble or at least smooth

[@ashcroftCDB]

You make this look so easy. I tried it on my cubicle desk and ended up with a sticky bunched roll of failure. I’m about to try take 2 (which is why I’m watching this), so with your tips may the odds be ever in my favor.

How'd it go?

[@loriennyanzi1290]

I tried in my kitchen. It looks ok. It's not perfect. It was difficult. I can always change it, when I get tired of it.

[@DiannMMorales]

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.

[@thediymommy]

Thanks!

[@cassandraDify]

I jusy put all new handles on my cupboards in the kitchen And It's crazy how much of a difference just changing one little thing made.i immediately thought omg I need to change the counters. Lol there is no way I can afford it though so here I am! I'm excited I hope I don't f it up too 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.

[@pattiereiter9265]

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!

[@thediymommy]

Wonderful! Have fun!

[@mygirldarby]

To be honest, I love that wooden countertop. It is gorgeous! I wouldn't cover it with contact paper. Well at least it is temporary so you can switch it up. I'm thinking of using this application for my horrendously unappealing granite laminate in my second bathroom. Nobody ever sees this bathroom but my husband and me, so I haven't done much with it. This seems like the perfect inexpensive way to make it look nicer.

[@kcdjspc]

I did almost all my kitchen then had to get another roll as the one they sent me was half ruined from it being rolled in to a roll for packaging. I then saw a video about hair drying as I also got different paper for my kitchen doors and what a difference it makes!! Prevents it from coming away on corners and round edges as well!

[@Gdvinrt]

Hi I've been installing contact paper for well over 25 years in my own rentals when I was younger we moved around not a lot but more than we want it but I was looking for a place to call home sadly I couldn't find it until now. 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!!
