I just wanted to share for all of you who have been wanting to know about Spreadstone that I am in the process of coating my old formica with the countertop kit in black. I'll post some photos soon, I'm in the final steps.

How did it come out?

They turned out excellent, can't believe the difference. Everyone was has seen them is amazed. the finish seems very durable, it really is like stone/cement. Only time will tell if it is trully durable. Looks just like black granite with flecks of white and tan. At this point I am SO glad I went with this and didn't try to paint them. There are a few tips that are very important so if you decide to do it, I'm happy to offer them.

Nice job. I've heard people trying this before and having a terrible time, so its encouraging to see someone succeed with it!

I made sure to watch their youtube instructional video and follow directions precisely. Its been about 9 months and the counters are still in mint condition. I am VERY happy with the results. I spent about $100 on the whole project. No one in my area sells Spreadstone so called the manu in Canada and they sent it to me, got it the next day so excellent cust. serv. Hard to find good companies, this one is a winner in my book! I was thinking of painting the counters but I've done a lot of painting and just couldn't imagine it working very well. Anyway,l do NOT work for Daisch (they are in Canada, I am in Iowa) so hope this doesn't sound like an ad for them but I am not above giving credit where it is due either.
