I covered my old butcher block lamanent coutertops with a spray that looks like stone that I purchased at a home improvement center. I think it was called STONE CREATIONS. I then sealed it with 5 coats of polyurathene and I am very very happy with the results! It is durable to a point.....and has held up very well. It can eventually chip but the way I looked at it this was just to get me through until I do replace the countertops. I am very happy with the way it updated my kitchen. I did this in one weekend and that was 2 years ago. It still looks good but does need occaisional touch up. What I did was mask off everything around the counters just like if you were spray painting. ON Friday night I applied the first coat of spray and let it dry overnight. I then applied the 2nd coat and then on Sunday morning I started in with the polyurathene coats.....letting the first one dry really well. BY Sunday night I was through and I was so impressed. The stone spray comes in several colors.....the cost was about $8 a can and I used 4 cans, and I have a lot of counters space. I only wished I would have done it sooner to update my kitchen because I hated those outdated butcher block counters. Good luck and on a scale of 1 to 10 of difficulty I would rate this project a 2 for easy.....the hardest part was masking off cabinets and windows surounding the counters...I just used painters tape and newspaper.....just time consuming.....but a project I highly recommend to cover ugly countertops.
