My laminate counters have a few spots where I sat a hot pan on it and the laminate bubbled, cracked and now has about 2" spots with no laminate on it. Will this cover it or should I patch it? What about chipped corners and edges?

yes it will. i had a bubbled up spot on my island from a hot pan. I just sanded it down as smooth as i could before applying the initial primer. From certain angles i can still see a slight circle shape from where the original burn mark was, but i'm perfectly happy with the results.

the same thing happened to my pan and I just cover it with aluminum foil then spray that with cooking spray. turns out completely fine PLUS there's no cleaning that way. :)

I used the Porc a Fix for the edge (framework) of my black cook top stove, not the glass part itself. I am not sure if that would be even safe but you might want to check with a windshield repair place if it is the glass itself, otherwise I would be concerned that the heat and cooling will crack the glass further. If it is not the glass itself, but the framing around it, this stuff works great!

I have only placed something really hot on it one time but grabbed a mat to put under it. For that short time it didn't hurt it but I always put a mat under my hot items on my counters also. But very easy to do. I really like mine but I needed the extra space.

If the crack is all the way through your tank, I believe you would need to use waterproof cement/glue first to prevent any leakage. I think this product could be used on the outside to cover up the crack so that it is not seen, but just for cosmetic purposes. I don't think this will seal any leak. It kinda' reminds me of what Liquid Paper does to unwanted marks on paper, except this covers up stuff on porcelain. I used it on my gas stove and it eventually came off, just like the original finish did. I believe it's supposed to be for high heat areas, but I'm not so impressed with it for what I got it for.

Laminate is NOT sealed hardwood. You have small seams that the water vapor will get into. Please, please, please call your manufacture of the flooring and the steam mop and ask what they will do for you if the mop damages your floor. Likely at most replace the mop and the flooring manufacture likely voided your warranty the first time you steam mopped it. Even site finished hardwood a mop is not recommended. Your floor shrinks in low humidity which breaks the bonds between board in your floor. The vapor can and will work it's way into the floor in time and can cause the boards to warp. Please contact the manufacture or a hardwood expert for advice. Laminate is NOT sealed hardwood. You have small seams that the water vapor will get into.

I really have no idea. After it sets its pretty permanent. I would hate to think after the repair is done you's still have to replace the top. That's why we went with the sealant in the first place. If you are VERY careful you can remove some excess with a razor blade or exacto knife, but that works best on the glass surface itself. I would be nervous as all get out using it on cloth. Sorry!

I have not had that problem. I believe it is how careful you are when you finish with the protective layer. We were careful not to get the counter wet for many days after finishing the project and we are still careful not to let any standing water accumulate on the counters. I am sure given time that our countertops will begin to peel, but this is a cheap, easy way to give your counter tops a beautiful look.

Yes as long as u put the clear coat on the entire counter. thats what holds in on and prevents chipping. if u don't seal it like that then water and what not could get under and cause damage and have to redo which would b a pain to deal with

You aren't supposed to but I agree that if you are gentle and don't use the edges (like a user suggested below) then there shouldn't be a problem. The issue is that the finish seems durable but in my experience, after about 6 months use, it was no longer non-stick. There was never any noticeable chipping/disappearance of the coating but it just didn't work correctly anymore.

Hi Eric - It depends on the quality of the flooring. The cheaper laminate may swell if you leave the fluid pooled on it. Many wood laminates can tolerate a little pooling and either won't swell or will return to form quickly. I would test a corner. It's really no different than putting water on it. The enzymes and active ingredients won't hurt the flooring, but the fact that it's liquid is the real issue. Perhaps you could apply it and wipe it up fairly quickly. If you do that several times, it may cure the problem without doing any harm.

I'm not sure about how textured you are talking about but mine had some chipped paint from previous paint counter tops (different brand) and I did not sand it and they came out fine. I even had a cut in my counter and that is covered and not noticeable. I don't want to use my kitchen cause it looks so good!

I have it on my laminate counter, and have not had any damage. The bottom doesn't get very hot, it is the top and sides that do. I just pull it away from the wall a bit when I use it.

Hi; No , after a year or so , our counter top has held up great , including the clear coat. Sorry you are having problems.

Try to contact the vendor's customer service directly. I called because I was looking for a filler piece since this is a corner install. M-F, 8am to 5pm PST Tel: 310-808-9600 Email: info@kitchenbathcollection.com

First, as far as the color goes .... it can vary. I have used it several times now and usually it's a gray to slightly gray/taupe but sometimes it dries more taupe/brown. I think it has something to do with how much it's worked (troweled) but I could be wrong. There may be another factor that affects the dry color. Generally though I'd say plan on a gray to slightly taupe-y gray dry color. As for ceramic, I did my backsplash with it. It was harder to do than a flat surface and had to be done in much thinner coats, especially the first couple. It doesn't want to stick, but eventually it will. The first coat shouldn't try to cover the tile. It's take at least one or two coats just to fill in the grout lines; at least from my experience. Once those coats are good and dry though, the first tile coat will stick at least to itself and while the tile coverage will be quite spotty at first, eventually you'll build enough so it works out. I had glossy ceramic, if you have a matte finish or a textured tile it might cover a little easier. Are you planning to do just ceramic or a counter/backsplash? I ask because I wouldn't consider it particularly durable for some uses. I am only partially satisfied with mine. From a looks stand point, it's not bad at all. I no longer have ugly chipped laminate counters and ceramic that doesn't match anything. In retrospect, however, especially from a practical standpoint. I wish I'd have just bit the bullet and ripped out the ceramic and lived with the counters until I could replace them. I didn't though, so these will work until I can afford to redo it all. It's not horrible by any means, and a lot of people really seem to like their counters. My overall opinion though is slightly less than thrilled. I don't hate them, but I certainly don't love them either. If there is a way to upload pix here I will show you my counter/backsplash combo that I did. If not, you're welcome to message me (I think there's an option for that) and I'll send the pic directly.

I don't know what is your menu size but it can laminate up to 12" wide so you can use 11 x 17 or 11.7 x 16.5 but make sure it should be straight. I am not recommend this product. It usually has wave band. I don't know why it seems heat temperature is not even during the laminate even letter size has same result. I got replace one but it had same. I only can use this for something not important but it need to laminate.
