How to Finish a look of sand stone on a tile or Formica Counter Top Create


I was sick and tired of this counter white tiled bathroom with its dark green insert. He was old and ugly.

I wanted a new surface without removing the tiles, creating a beautiful sandstone finish straight on the floor. After a little internet research, I found the products and information necessary to do so.

Janice Faulkner's "Faux Effects" gave me simple instructions as I approached and asked him how to finish a hard limestone over to my existing (disgusting word) counter tile in my bathroom head.

Here, the steps are:

I cleaned the sink and wiped well with pure white vinegar to make a little extra "tooth".

I have included the wall, casting and casting with blue painters tape.

I prime the surface with "Prime etch" Faux Effects. I let it dry overnight. A primer of high quality could also work.

With the help of a gloved hand, I smoothed on the "Aqua stone" Effects of False.

On leaving the surface more "chaotic", I let it sit for a while, then used a plastic scraper to smooth the surface. The proper operation of wells and natural links "stores" that have made the surface appear to be genuine stones.

I let it dry. The next morning, I noticed that I could still see the joints. So I told them again filled with Aqua Stone, smooth again as before and let dry.

Again, the seals have shown in making me understand that it would have been better if I had completed the first joints, let dry before applying one coat of Aqua Peter over the whole surface.

After filling up again, this time as it is dry, the surface was finally flat. (Small price to pay for a great lesson learned). And that's why we test projects, so you do not have to go through the dilemmas of this kind.

Once the surface was completely dry, I used my hand sander electric hand to smooth the surface. The product was very easy to sand, where the happy advantage of me! Natural and research pits stores remained in the surface.

After sanding, I sucked debris, carefully removed from the surface and then mixed in a light brown color neutral glass and it scans the surface with a brush, dab the area immediately with a dry towel sponge.

Want extra "depth", I re-applied color to selected areas for a greater variety. Again, I went blotting.

I let the color dry, then two coats of "Aqua" Guard Faux Satin Sealer effects are applied.

My bathroom counter looks like sandstone REAL and I could not be happier with the final results of the project.
The tiles are gone ugly, I should not they chip, clean up the mess, down new tiles and grout, I just asked for a product and made it the way I wanted to give my bathroom the look I was after.

Now I myself, there is a formica counter in our home in Idaho, I intended to completely replace. I do not want. I place a stone beautiful finish because of the wonderful products on the effects Faux Faulkner and Janice for her help in this transformation.
