DIY Marble Countertops

Because contact paper is sticky, there was a bit of left over residue on the counters. I used a de-greaser spray and a metal sponge to remove the left over stickiness.

Note – The directions in the kit does explain NOT to use any chemical such as this. It may have an effect on the paint sticking. Because I had to get the sticky part off I did use this several days prior to painting. I did make sure it was completely off the counter and used warm water before panting.

Step Two – Tape and Remove exisiting caulk

 

 

This part was rather fun to pick off and didn’t take much time at all.

This is what the caulk looked like before I removed it. It was cracked and needed to be replaced anyways.

Step Three – Smoothing Out any lines or imperfections on existing counter

I used what I always have on hand. Applied to the area, let dry and sanded down.
