Before & after effect
Let’s go!
Preparation
Preparation
Step 1
To begin with, the surfaces of the panels to be covered are measured using a yard stick.
Step 2
The dimensions are then transferred to the backing paper of the Marble Fontana beige adhesive film, leaving a little overhang. Make sure that you cover all sides of the panels!
Step 3
Then cut the various pieces of adhesive film to size using a ruler and a utility knife.
Step 4
Peel the backing paper off of the film and stick the piece of film onto the corresponding panel. To do this, apply the adhesive film, press it down with the palm of your hand and then smooth it in place using the smoothing blade.
Step 5
Cut the adhesive film diagonally at the corners with the scissors – this is the best way to cover the corners and edges.
Step 6
Now glue two of the panels together with the mounting adhesive to create a table base. Then glue the third panel onto the table base. The travertine table is finished.
You did it!
