Laminate paint.

Post by shonky »

Hi, all.

Anybody used Rust-Leum kits from Bannings for their bench tops? The entire kit sells for $217 which is a damn sight better than the $1200 quote for laminating one 5 meter bench and 2 tables. Damn near gave me a heart attack.

I haven't used that particular product, but we did use a few White Knight products to paint some kitchen cupboard doors and floor tiles. After a couple of years the tiles needed doing again. The kitchen has since gone due to old age and the effect of a minor water leak. The secret is to do the preparation correctly and get it clean before applying the product.

Hi, all.

supersparky - once again the 6*p rule comes into effect. Prior Preparation Prevents Poor Performance.
This stuff is epoxy resin based and Youtube has an excellent "How To" advisory.
