I have a kitchen countertop that has water damage. Warping & peeling contact paper. The management tells me they’re only going to resurface it but, facilities say they’d like to replace it. Whatever happens, I decided a while ago to polyurethane it. 3 coats sounds about right. Thanks again!

So the best solution is to overlap the contact a bit 1/4″- 1/2″. Contact sticks to contact even better than it sticks to anything else, making a tight bond. Plus, lining it up right next to each other involves touching the edge a lot, including the sticky part, which reduces its stickyness.
Second, the BACK piece edge should be UNDER the front piece edge. It tricks the eye better that way.
   Keep the amount of backing you peel down straight, peeling it crooked can make the contact scootch sideways.
   If you have to lift to reposition, grab it at the bottom where the backing is still attached, it can stretch if pulled without it.
Go over the overlap seam with heat gun or hairdryer, it strengthens the bond
   I POURED poly in cabinet under my sink after replacing, then spread it around and a bit up the edges. It was nice and thick, took a week to dry, shines like glass. But next time the garbage disposer broke and leaked for a week before we knew, under the sink still looked perfect.
   Don’t want to burst your bubble, lol, but  most all contact paper has a pattern match repeat somewhere, even marble..
See reviews with pictures on Amazon for
MULLSAN 24”x118” Sea Sand Blue Stone Marble Look
You can see it plain as day along the front top of 2 of the picture.s in the reviews That said, IMHO, that big pattern patch screams fake, lol.

If you don’t use a coating over it you can just peel it right off! Its perfect for rental homes. Ü We owned the home which is why I coated it with clear polyurathane. DO NOT DO THAT in a rental. Not without permission.

Water based poly drys very fast. A roller causes a lot of bubbles that oil based polyurethane have time to work out. Water based poly and a roller makes for a very bumpy surface that will need to be sanded and re-coated. I came up with this idea before I saw this post and used a brush to apply water based polyurethane to my freshly contact papered kitchen counter. I didn’t like the mild brush stokes so I tried a roller and while it was drying I looked up “can I use a roller with polycrylic” it said no it would make bubbles but at that time I was watching it dry. Lone and behold it was ruined and I had to sand it all down, too bad that was going to be my last coat. I sanded and re-applyed as instructed but after it dried you could still see the imperfections in the finish. I had to sand and re-apply 2 more coats to get it smooth again sanding between each coat. Because I tried a roller with water based polyurethane it took me 6 coats in total messing up on coat 3 with the roller. A lot of sanding, hey a least I have one think layer on the entire counter, it shines like the sun.
