Is this easy to remove? I am renting and looking for a temporary fix for the countertops.

I've been covering kitchen counters with contact paper for years. It's cheap and make a fast, big difference in the looks of the kitchen (and bathroom formica counters). It comes off easily if you use a hair dryer to warm up the stuff (i.e. blow it back and forth along the top of the paper). It'll come up. I'm assuming that you're covering old formica counter-tops, right? If there's any sticky residue after removing the contact paper, use Soft-Scrub with water and a scrubby-sponge to get off the residue. If Soft-Scrub doesn't work --it should -- but if it doesn't, use Goo-Gone -- which is, btw, one of mankind's greatest inventions for removing all kinds of gunk. Contact paper is great for a quick cheap make-over. With reasonable care, it'll last a long time, but if you use it on the kitchen counter, you MUST use a cutting board when slicing stuff. Oh, and when putting it down, make sure surface you're putting it down on is bone-dry, or it won't stick. For the inevitable air-bubbles that show after you first put it down, stick a pin (straight pin, safety pin, whatever) in the air-bubble, and gently press the contact paper down, squeezing out the air. Take your time, be patient. Figure on spending a couple of hours doing the job, depending on size of the kitchen. Oh, and don't butt the seams. Instead, overlay by about 1/8th of an inch. Contrary to other opinions, it does NOT get nasty and dingy with use, assuming that you are reasonably tidy and prompt about wiping up spills.

would it be ok to use this on the back of my laptop???

I've only used it on Formica countertops but it peels off without any damage or sticky residue.

Will this damage walls? I am looking for an inexpensive solution for a small laundry room, but don't want possible wall damage.

when you say wall damage, i assume when you remove it.it depends on the material of the wall (sheet rock, mdf board, concrete, etc.), and what's already on the wall. if the wall has been painted, there's a good chance of not having a wall damage when removed. if the wall has wallpaper, the wallpaper might come-off when you remove this film.try it in a small/hidden portion of the wall as a test.

Give a new lease of life to old furniture at a low price

I decided to buy this vynl adhesive film because I have a bed side table that is looking tired and when I found out that I could cover it in a marble effect for £5 I thought it was a no brained.Just clean the surface and measure up the surface, cut the film to size and peel off the backing and stick on and you use a tool to get all the air bubbles out, then trim off the excess, its that easy.My bed side table has a new lease of life. Plus the beauty if you don't like it you just peel it off its that easy. I love this dc fix vynl adhesive that I have ordered another 3 rolls. You can use this on counter tops, table tops, the use is endless. Very pleased.

Good for the price

For what you pay, this is great. As another review mentioned, is IS pixelated when you really look at it, but I used it for a kitchen windowsill to avoid further water damage from sink splashes and it looks lovely. It was £5.00, of course it's not the best quality going, but FOR £5.00: it's very good.

Great! :)

Added this on to my windowsill which had been battered and bruised but now it looks stylish and brand new! My only criticism is that they said it would be delivered yesterday but came today :/ not too bad but it was kind of annoying. Quick delivery and looks glossy and pretty. It is quite pixilated if you look closley but not awful. Quite happy

Arrived a day early however the way it was packaged it completely mishaped the material and it kept creasing when applied to the surface and so it was completely useless and a waste of money because of how it was packaged.

My go-to company for vinyl!

Nice amount of thickness. Sticks really well. The marble effect looks really nice. Will purchase again once my current one runs out!

Good value for money

Works really well, it’s been at least a month since I wrapped some shelves and it’s not peeling or discolouring
