Now I do! decoupage...<br />I get that after (presumably) cleaning the old counter, you apply Kilz2 Latez, dry 45 mins, then apply Mod Podge to the back of the paper and position it. What I'm not clear on is, what's the step after that? Do you just finish off by 'painting' Mod Podge or equivalent over the top of all the paper? How many coats? How long to dry between coats? Is any sanding required, or air bubbles to deal with?<br />Thank you!Great Idea!noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076817061947245885.post-17304423722799612922013-08-31T19:50:53.166-05:002013-08-31T19:50:53.166-05:00You have done a good job.You have done a good job.jabbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10676807234825122277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076817061947245885.post-22473853500196134972013-01-15T22:10:29.365-06:002013-01-15T22:10:29.365-06:00So how are the counters still holding up? I used ...So how are the counters still holding up? I used varethane (waterbased) to decoupage brown paper onto all of my subfloors, after I yanked the disgusting carpets. It is holding up very well, and when a spot does get ripped or such, which has only happened twice in the past year, I just cover it with more paper...except now I used Mod Podge. A gallon of Mod Podge is only 30 bucks on amazon, including shipping. MUCH cheaper than 49,99 waterbased polyurethane! Seems to hold up just as well too. Thanks for sharing your esperience, which inspired me to do my floors, and now my counters will be coming shortly.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00332165765309152802noreply@blogger.com
