@catlover, I'd like to see your cat's reaction if it jumps onto the counter and sees the squirrel 😀

Years ago, my DH did the same thing to my counter top. I ordered a built in glass cutting board and had it installed in the counter top right where the burn mark was. It looked great. You cut the laminate and drop in the stainless stell framed cutting board and secure it permanently.

One of my friends liked the idea, so she had one installed into her counter too.

You can buy these cutting boards on line from Vance Industries and many other places. Check them out, I highly recommend this method for repair that no one will even notice that you had an oops.

Yes Rustoleum makes a countertop paint............the result isn't as good as the photo of it on the box. and the kit is kinda costly............best thing is any Home Depot or Lowes, sells laminate countertops in a few color choices (most times only 4) out of their store for a very reasonable price............just replace it.........................raven
Your right they can't "fix" what is damaged but can very easily juat cut out the damaged piece and replace it with the same if they still make the pattern. I had it done so I know itr is possible.We can barely see where they glued the seam, and you would not see it if you were not looking for it.

@151949 sure you can as long as that new seam is not going to be anywhere near a water source, ie. sink............even then you still are going to have a seam sitting in the middle of your countertop.......not an attractive look..........so you just end up swappin out one bad look for another.....................................raven

I forgot to mention-his tail goes down the side of the counter....looks really cute!

My cats reaction would be very funny I'm sure.

CATS ARE HEAVEN SENT

As I stated - it is barely visible and then only if you look for it.They did a great job.I certainly did not swap a bad job for another .If it wasn't acceptable I would not have signed off on it.

So what?

Why do you care so much?

It's HER countertop, not yours.

If she is happy with it, that's all the matters, right?
