Terri the best thing is to read what prep is necessary from the kit. Starting with a clean countertop, usually you have to rough it up with sandpaper to make paint adhere. Good luck!
Hi, Terri!
I’ve used these kits before... They are easy and look fabulous! The paint or material will cover seams really well and all that is required is a light sanding on the countertop to rough up the surface. The base coat in the kit is actually what binds the paint to the countertop. I hope this helps!
Yes it does. thank you so much.
Yes follow the directions to a T. Plan ahead, take your calculated amount of time.
