I am so glad yours went away :) My garage just worked out that it fit back in. I think it was a little short to begin with :) I just covered my bath vanities with minwax oil poly. They turned a yellowish color. No water stains though. I am not going to put it on the white sink though. I am going to apply enviro. now on the whole thing. The yellow is not that bad, kind of makes it look like the real deal. ... View related article. |

It took several years to cure. This a.m. I walked in their and plopped my hot coffee cup down on it and walked away and came back and you couldn't tell it was even there before. I can not do this in the kitchen yet. It will take a very long time before you can put anything hot on it! Trust me. We have a corner app. garage..hubby had to take it apart to do the enviro. we put it back up 3 days after enviro. was done. You have to take it off to get a continued flow of the product. ...

I didn't see a difference with indents, when using the pledge. I am constantly on the kids telling them don't put that bowl or hot coco on that countertop. I just reheated my coffee this am and almost forgot that I can not put it down on the countertop without a hot pad. I know what I will be getting for Christmas this year:) Hot pads lolololol mine are still there. Maybe other peoples have disappeared? I don't know. They do look gorgeous but functional. I think they have to cure a long time. At least my bar one's did. ... View related article. |

Hi gals:) I would be super careful with everything you put on it!! I placed my crock pot on it the other day on low and the little rubber circles showed up after I went to put it away. Even the rubber circles from my glass cutting board showed up. Do not put anything directly onto it from micro. Not even bowl of soup etc. or coffee cup. It tends to leave some sort of ring from where your bowl or cup was? Our home sports bar also did it and it is over 6 years old. It is getting better tough as time goes by. Seems it just takes a long time to cure. ... View related article. |

I don't know what it is about Baby Wipes, but for some odd reason they work. Every time I spill something on my carpet I grab the baby wipes and it always comes out:) I have also used goo gone on an old paint stain and it came out right away without damaging color. Try these sometime:) ... View related article. |
