I used ENVIROTEX resin to put on my countertops. Totally ok around food and they use it on bar tops. I painted my kitchen countertops with stone spray and made it look granite like. In this case, if you wanted to do your decoupage thing with whatever you were decoupaging...you could do that instead first. Then pour envirotex resin on top of it. It will drip down the sides and make the sides not so great(happened to us) so frame the sides or put contact paper on the sides so you don't get the plastic drips on the edge. Then you use a blow torch to get all the bubbles out. Follow the envirotex directions on the box. Google tutorials. It's a great product and our countertops have held up for years now. Something to think about instead of decoupage alone on a countertop. hope this helps. Good Luck!

If you prime it with a bonding primer, (this is my favorite bonding primer!) you can then use Mod Podge on it and it will stay put. Here is a link to my DIY decorating blog Simple Decorating Tips where I show you a decoupage project I did to a sofa console table.
