Is this effective to color the typical "dark edges" of laminate countertops?

I think it would. I covered a gouge in my countertop that had the black part exposed. On one of the instructional YouTube videos for this product, they were filling in the seam between two countertop pieces. You might have to practice putting it on though. If it doesn't look right when you've placed the product, you can remove it with the solvent. I made a mistake the first time I applied it, and was able to take it off with the solvent (it had only set a minute or two) and then try again.

Hi! I have laminae floors by Quick-Step, this product seems to work great. But the floors originally aren't shiny - they are in between matte and a little shine... So not sure how this product would act on your floors. You can buy small spray bottle at Lowe's and return if you don't like it. Versus buying online and not able to return.

Yes, I believe that it will cover. The primary color coat is very thick, and will have no problem covering any color. Where you need to be careful is when you're sanding the surface after you put down the color chips. If you sand that edge too much, you will sand off the color coat. If you do this, you can just re-do that portion, so inspect the edges after you've sanded to make sure that you didn't sand too aggressively.

My granite top is a lighter tone but not solid it has oranges, tans, browns, blacks and flecks of gold. I think the dark tone sets great against my countertop.

I've actually polished a lot of pieces right on a formica countertop with no damage to the laminate after washing away the residue with soap and water. However, if you have a matte finish counter top, I'd limit the amount of polishing directly against that surface--it won't hurt anything, but you might actually polish a shiny spot onto your counter. (This would only be from vigorous polishing, not incidental contact.)

I personally have only used it on black, as recommended. however it could be that DARK PURPLE has enough deepness that it allows the full color change effect to happen? from what I have seen. The color shifting properties have best results on darker back grounds. sorry I can't be more sure of results. good luck.

no i don't think so, you need a high heat resistant paint which this is not but for any other surface, frig, cabinet, regular countertop which you would use with a cutting board, it is great. just work quickly and confidently with roller and brush. it is a great effect for little money and effort.

I have only used it on light colors......I can tell you that it is the best I've used......after it's been washed there is no harshness and you really only see what you put on....I still trim before pressing.....old habit I guess but I have never tried dark colors....I would give it a try.

It works really well, and unlike some of the alkaline enviromental strippers (like Peel Away 7) it won't darken the wood. If the paint is many coats accumulated over decades, it may require a second application to get it all.

My advice is to give it a try. It does very nicely in improving the "chalky/hazy" appearance you can get over time with dark synthetic sink materials and I don't think it could do any harm, whatsoever. It does add luster. You might also find Hope's Perfect Sink at your local Lowes stores.

I used it for a presentation pallet for jewelry but it is opaque. I think it will help darken the from. I don't know that I would use black though. Why not try a deep dark brown canvas ? I think velvet would be odd for a shad lining.

To be honest, never tried it. But I have never seen this stuff change color on anything. I do sand, and STAIN wood and finish, and it doesn't darken, nor color the wood. Do a test spot and see? :)

It does restore shine on corian, not sure about laminate. It doesn't take out scratches, so if that is what is dulling the counter, it may not be effective

My counter top is black with very light speckles in it, almost like glitter. I have whitle marble floors with grey I'm them. I wouldn't know about black countertops with tan floors.

We use it on our solid oak floors. It is basically colorless after buffing, only leaving a "glow". Have had no problems.

technically yes, make sure it's a light color you get or the color isn't going to show up. I think it's too fragile to hold up to bleaching/coloring multi-step processing. I'm not affiliated with the company or anything, so I could be wrong. this is based on my personal experience with the extensions. I wasn't able to use them more than a month before they were beyond repair.
