I would like to use this contact paper to cover my kitchen cabinets. Ideally, the experts suggests that one uses a thin contact paper. Thank you

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.

I used it to cover a cracked ceiling, worked great. I also used another design (same thickness) to cover a wood panelled room , worked great , you can't see any of the panelling lines.As it dries it becomes taunt and hides the panel lines great !Might suggest filling the panel grooves with some spackle first if they are very pronounced.I papered the top half of the wall,installed chair railing and 'viola ! wainscotting ! Yes , I think this thick paper will work fine for your application.

If you need something that will stick really well, no. Think of this as a huge "Post-It" note...the adhesive sticks fine, but is weak enough to be peeled off and re-posted. If you want contact paper, buy "contact paper"---the stuff sticks like cement!

They are very light so using double sided tape might work. I don't recommend since over time it probably will fall. These are holding up great in my cabinets.

I did espresso over oak and it covered well but I think others have had coverage problems with white cabinets...might just need more coats.

I do not know the thickness of this paper exactly, but if you go to any hardware store or the like and look at contact paper you will have your answer. This does not seem any different.

The paint is really thick. You could test it to see if it works, but I wouldn't recommend thinning it out. The thickness helps cover any flaws on cabinets.

I don't know if that paper will work or not. I gave it to my granddaughters for Christmas and they have not mentioned any issues with paper. I watched them use it at Christmas time but they were using the tracing paper that came in the set. A real dense paper might block too much of the light.

If you were to put it next to something that is really stainless steel, you would definitely notice a difference. I would also think that the tighter the "seal" to your surface, the closer it would look to the real thing (I used it on shelving in our pantry and the shelving surface didn't stick as tightly as it could). It isn't just silver contact paper -- it has a kind of a grain to it like real stainless steel. For contact paper, it looks really good, but it is still contact paper.

You will need to seal the paper with several coats of some sort of sealant such as mod pudge first otherwise this product will soak through and ruin the paper. Hope this helps.

You can cover with a regular and it will work..... But we actually order a deeper sheet and like it better. But we had a regular sheet for a while... It would just come up in the corners sometimes.

These bumpers work very well on cabinet doors where there is a large enough piece of wood to hit when they close. If you put the bumpers on the edge of the bedroom doors they may work, but the door frame may not have enough room for good contact. You may want to try smaller bumpers or a strip of rubber to put on the door frame. Good luck!

this paper is thin vinyl coated paper and is also smooth. You would probably have texture showing through the paper. I returned it because it was not the thick vinyl that I needed to cover my texture.

I tried this on white and then clear contact paper. It worked much better on the clear. With a light touch it melted the plastic but left the peel away paper intact. Make sure the tool is very hot and only use in a well ventilated space. BTW - Using contact paper is a great idea for stencil making. When I did etchings years ago I cut stencils from masking tape (tedious!). I paint on fabric now and use my sewing machine to make freezer paper stencils.

NO! Recommend buying appliance paint instead. Any water or moisture will make the contact paper curl. Here's a link to the spray paint: Rust-Oleum 7881830 Appliance Enamel 12-Ounce Spray, White Another option is to buy the brush on paint. Example: Sheffield 1126 Porcelain Touch-Up White,1 fl oz

Great product,would apply with contact cement . I had refinished cabinets and the time and work was worth it.YouTube has some good video of the process. Good luck.
