Would this work to cover ugly formica cabinets (I have the 80's style oak and melamine. I like the oak but hate the melamine part).

I would think it would but since I am not a professional I can't be sure. The adhesive is extremely strong.

I actually bought mine to go on the sides of my cabinets (which had that cheap particle board laminate). The fronts of my cabinets were nice oak, but the sides (beside the window) really looked bad. This veneer's been up there for about a year now with no signs of peeling even right above the sink (where they occasionally get splashed). Looks great!

I know it can be used for the counter and basin of vantories. If you want to redo the cabinets, Restoleum has a specific product for cabinets, which I haven't tried.

Not necessary unless you want to protect the wood top. Mine is on a formica covered work cabinet.

I used it on mine. After the surface is sanded & stained the way you want it, thin the first coat with turpentine or mineral spirits as directed. That first coat will seal the pores in the wood. Then re-coat as recommended and it will do fine. If it it can withstand the Florida summer, it will work anywhere. I used 6 coats in all on my mahogany front door two years ago, and it still looks fine.

This should work. It's not too thick. I used it to cover Dining chairs seats (Upholstery).

I would think that it would work but I would use some course sand paper on the formica if it is a real smooth finish. Use the sand paper to rough up the surface so the paint will adhere better to the formica surface and give you a better painted surface that will last longer. Let the paint cure up to two days between coats of paint and two days before you use the epoxy. Hope this helps and good luck.

This type of stain goes over the surface of wood and is not absorbed. You won't see the grain so much, but it takes a few coats to do a full cover. This product is not absorbed into the grain, so it covers the grain to some degree. I suggest you look at Pinterest, java stain on oak cabinets and see what you find there to get some ideas.

Just an opinion, mind you, but wouldn't you rather have something less reflective (more of a mat finish)? Most likely it would work but the creases stand out for quite a while. If you leave it hanging they will eventually come out but won't be like a piece of canvas. Food for thought anyway.

I would give it a try. The colors did not match my wood exactly at first look but when I used it, it really hid the scratches. it does not fill in the scratches but draws your eye away from them.

It may help, but this could be fun removing someday and would be quite expensive to do the whole area. I use 3m adhesive to apply this inside speaker cabinets. They also make a 2 inch thick soft foam like for recording studios that are 24x24 and are nice and flat for applying to walls and ceilings.

The cabinet is made of oak wood but the stain is walnut. If you search you should be able to find an oak with a natural or oak stain finish. I have also seen cherry finish for this product.

Hi Rose...I think this pattern would look great in any kitchen but I don't know about covering the outside of your kitchen cabinets. While it is heavy weight paper...if it got wet or if you had to clean it with any kind of cleaner I don't know how it would hold up. I used mine to cover a piece of thin plywood and made a homemade desk in a child's room. I have wiped it off with a damp sponge but follow with a dry towel just in case. So far...no problems. It still looks new and has shown no signs of water damage or tearing. Give it a try...you can always peel it off if it doesn't work. Good luck.

It can be secured on one side and/or secured along the back. It's a natural finish so it would most likely need to have an end piece to match your existing cabinets or sandwiched between two cabinets for a custom look. All sides have a polyurethane finish to could be left exposed if that's the look you want.

Yes, I have used it for many years on my formica style counter tops. Works very well.

Yes I used it to cover a box to look like a night table. It looks pretty good. Lol

I took oak cabinets and stained them with this. Took 3 coats and have almost black cabinets. They're beautiful. Loved this stain.

Laminate wood? I would say so. I'm no expert by the majority of our cabinets are particle cheap stuff. The only thing I would suggest is that to at least sand your area down just a tad as I did the same to lift the gloss that is applied to top layer. I used two coats for the color I wanted then applied the clear coat to protect.
