You will need…

d-c-fix® Marmi Black
Pencil
Measuring tape
Cutter knife
Smoothing blade

Let’s go

Step 1

Start by determining the dimensions of the surface that you want to redesign in marble effect. For this purpose, add the height (thickness) of your worktop plus approx. 1-2 cm to make sure you can completely cover around the edges later.

Step 2

Next, transfer the overall dimensions of the surface to be covered onto the backing paper of the d-c-fix® Marble Black. adhesive foil.

Step 3

Then, turn over the cut foil with the decor face up and pull off part of the protective film. Apply the now exposed adhesive surface to one corner of the work top, taking into account the edge overlap and excess foil, and apply the adhesive foil by pressing with your hands.

Step 4

Following this, use the smoothing blade to smooth down the foil, applying firm pressure. Finally, affix the entire sheet of foil onto the worktop section-by-section, repeating the steps described above.

Step 5

If small air inclusions form during application, you can pierce them with a fine pin and gently smooth them out using the smoothing blade.

Step 6

A “hot” trick for application: Use a hair dryer at the lowest temperature setting to carefully heat the foil. This makes the adhesive foil softer and even easier to apply.

You’re done!

Hey

It will take cups of hot tea etc but it won’t take a hot pan. What I do is if I’m mashing potatoes, ill take from hob and put the pan on folded t-towels. It won’t take hot pans from the hob. Cups of tea or bowls and plates of hot food should be fine, its fine when I do it, I’ve had no problems with those
