This is part three of the Highwall Remodel series. In this video we give vinyl contact paper a shot as a method for renovating and remodeling our 2008 Jayco Select 12HW’s countertops. We made sure we purchased vinyl contact paper specifically made for going on countertops, which is much thicker than your run of the mill contact paper. Specifically, we picked up a gray marble look vinyl contact paper made by Very Berry. One of the advantaged of the vinyl contact paper that is made for going on countertops is that it can be stretched with the application of heat.
For this part of the renovation, we actually required very few tools and supplies. In addition to the vinyl contact paper, we utilized a degreaser and an alcohol based cleaner to clean our table and countertops. We also utilized a scissors, a utility blade, a heat gun, different sized plastic scrapers, a caulk gun, and latex caulk to finish up the look.
We found that this method of renovating countertops is most certainly the quickest of the methods we’ve tried as it doesn’t require allowing paint to dry or completely remaking countertops. However, this method certainly wasn’t frustration free as air bubbles liked to work their way under the vinyl contact paper. In our opinion, this is at least a two person job - one to hold the contact paper off the countertop/table and to apply heat while the other squeegees the vinyl contact paper down onto the existing countertops.
With all that being said, the one thing we did not mention in the video that we wished we had done was allow the corners that we utilized the heat and pull method to cool prior to trimming the excess material.
