is there a sealer you add on top? would the final finish scratch off easily?

The kit came with a clear coat for the top layer. I haven't had any problems with scratching or chipping.

Yes, I believe the clear coat is considered a sealer. My refrigerator did not scratch easily, but it did scratch when my husband accidentally scratched a baseboard along the bottom of it. I just touched it up.

The kit comes with a clear coat that protect the stainless paint. You apply 1-3 coats depending on the degree of gloss that you want.

It comes with a clear coat. I did mine several months ago, haven't had any problems with scratches.

The kit comes with sealer. I put 2 coats of sealer. One coat makes flat-semi gloss, two coats make semi gloss and three coats make glossy finish. I did it about 2 months ago, the finish looks nice and does not scratch off.

My Frig. was a white Whirlpool that was textured. I cleaned it, lightly sanded it, and cleaned it again with a little acetone on a rag. I then followed the directions and material in the kit, waiting for it to dry between coats. I used the clear coat that came with the kit. I put on two coasts. I did not use any other product that did not come with the kit. The Frig came out excellent. It seems the finish is very durable. I have had many compliments on it. I am really happy I did it. It makes our bar area in the family room look finished.

Yes there is a top coat. No it doesn't scratch easily. I am thrilled 12 months later.

Yes. I used a clear waterproof sealant/stain. It looks great and wears well.

several coats of clear polyurethane should be a good sealant. I recommend 5-6 light coats. Although I haven't had the item outside for long so I can't speak to the durability

Mine still works fine. If it ever does you can use a varnish or wood sealer.

lIZARD is right...good hot water to loosen the glue and then scrape, just not hard enough to add scratches. The Pam idea will work, but a better process is WD-40 or Goo-Gone. The Goo-gone works great for this, just be sure to wash the covers real well before using.

We had planned to get a piece of clear plexi-glass cut for the island, but the gentleman there recommended we do several coats of urethane as just as good and cheaper. I used Polyshades spray urethane which is "self leveling" (i.e. novice friendly) and so far, no scratches. It is not butcher-block, so recommend NOT cutting directly on the top. Otherwise, this has worked well.

I would not add it to the grout! But there are other grouts that have the sealer already added to it! I do not know of any products other than this sealer! It is easy to apply and it works great!

Be careful, veneer scratches easily. I like it very much, looks great on top of my fridge!

I could see where they might scuff it but doubt it would scratch a factory finish. They are a semi hard plastic like poly pipe. They do not scratch our boat or our jet skis.

I'm not sure if I understand the question, but I believe the answer is no. The directions state that the surface needs to be clean and dry and free of waxing or coatings. I take that to mean that all previous sealents need to be removed. I hope that helps.

If you already polished then you could put this on top for protection. Personally I do a round of Opti Seal and then the spray wax.

Yes. I would suggest that you varnish/seal the wood first though. Mine are inside but the damp hand towel caused it to get a little moldy. I unscrewed the brackets, sanded it and added a coat of sealer. No more problem.

I have never tried this, so I a not sure. I know the top coat seals it really well. Sorry I could not be of more help.

Very loosley but I would think it should seal sufficiently. If you are not going to use the hanging bracket feature, I think they may have better models for countertop. I have 5 different ones-love the company.

I did not use any primer and where I placed it was pretty smooth, once the sun hit it, we had great seal. I would suggest a fairly clean surface though.

Yes. The sealant over it works quite well. It comes off immediately with rubbing alcohol. Soap and water with a bit of scrubbing will do the trick too. Hope this helps.

I haven't had that problem, but I'd suggest taking a drawer to Sherman Williams and have them match a satin white for touch ups...if really bad, you may need to sand, touch up, and then seal.
