Putting tile over formica counter tops
Hello all,
Me and my wife would like to remodel our kitchen some day, but it's like 5 years off In the mean time, we want to do whatever can (on a budget of course) to update our kitchen. It has green formica counter tops and backsplash, and I was wondering if it would be possible to put tile over this. In visiting a friend's new home this weekend I noticed her counter and backsplash were tile, but on the front it had a piece of wood trip covering the edge of the counter. If I installed tile on the counter and did the same, it would totally cover the formica. Anyone done this or seen this done before? I know the counters will need to be sanded and washed real good for anything to stick, but anything I need to put down before? Maybe a primer or something? I've worked with tile before, but never on counters. Thanks for any suggestions or ideas...
