$248 a kit that does up to 50 sq. ft.? I could by new laminate for a lot
less.

I should probably mention that part of my countertop(an 8' length) is 36"
Wide, much wider than your stock countertops at the Big Box stores. Are you
suggesting that I can do a custom size for under $248?

I guess I'd be leery of it as it does not look that easy to apply, they
don't appear to give a long term warranty, and I do not know of any
solid surface product made with epoxy resin. I would only consider it
if it had been in use for several years and had favorable reviews
otherwise you stand the risk of having to start over in a few years.

I have. Commonly used for countertop restoration. I was looking into redoing
my Formica but SWMBO finally realized our counters are fine.

Good information but looks like a job for a pro. Not something I would
try. Just not sure how epoxy would hold up versus melamine resin in
formica or acrylic in Corian.

It wouldn't hold up as well. Nothing that thin is going to. It's just a
covering added to the base; whatever that may be. The resin is impregnated
into the pre-fab stuff?

We're easy on counter tops so I wouldn't worry about mine and It's a good
way to fix up a house you're going to sell if you have to be cheap. Or if
tearing out the counter is more like a full-blow kitchen remodel.

My Formica looks good after 35 years and I'm familiar enough with Corian
to know about it's repairability. Have a couple of polyester bathroom
sinks that are etched after years exposure to moisture and soap sitting
on surface and if they were in the kitchen, new would be needed. Like I
say, there are so many new solid surface products out there, I'd like to
see long term durability. If I moved every few years, it would not make
any difference.

On the web site they say cleanable or something similar if used with
non-abrasive cleaners. So if you use Comet or something similar, all
bets are off.

Standard size laminate sheets are 48" x 96". A sheet runs around $50 at
Lowes, HD, etc.

appropriate forum.
