COUNTERTOP PREPARATION AND REPAIR
Q. PRIOR TO USING COUNTERTOP TRANSFORMATIONS™, HOW DO I
REPAIR CRACKS, CUTS, CHIPS, SCRATCHES OR BURNS IN MY ORIGINAL
COUNTERTOP?
A. Countertop Transformations™ will coat and cover any burns and small
scratches in the existing countertop. Cracks, chips, deeper cuts or dents can
be repaired by filling them with a 2-part epoxy putty. When the putty dries,
sand the area until it is even with the surrounding surface. Once repairs
have been made, follow the normal application process.
Q. WHAT IF MY ORIGINAL COUNTERTOP LAMINATE IS DELAMINATING?
A. The original countertop needs to be in good structural condition before
refinishing. If there is delamination, properly reattach the laminate. If
existing laminate is blistering, bubbling or buckling, do NOT use the
Countertop Transformations™.
Q. WHAT IF I MAKE A MISTAKE DURING THE COUNTERTOP REFINISHING
PROCESS?
A. Poor chip adhesion or chips removed by leaning on or touching the surface:
Easy fix! Just use a damp sponge dipped into the Adhesive Base Coat and
lightly sponge on the area and immediately cover the area with Decorative
Chips. For small repairs, you can apply chips by hand. Simply throw chips by
the handful with force to the wet repaired area.
Over-sanded or bare areas: Just dip a damp sponge into the
Adhesive Base Coat, sponge it onto the surface and immediately cover with
Chips. After 4 hours, sand down the area until it is even with the
surrounding area. Continue with Protective Top Coat application.
