d-c-fix 346-0306 Decorative Self-Adhesive Film, Grey Marble, 17" x 78" Roll

This self-adhesive film is a great way to refresh countertops, shelves, or furniture on a budget. The grey marble pattern looks very realistic and gives a clean, modern touch. It’s easy to cut and reposition during application, and the adhesive holds well without damaging surfaces. I used it on a small desk and some kitchen shelves — it completely transformed the look! Durable, wipeable, and much more affordable than replacing surfaces. Highly recommend for quick, stylish DIY updates!

This review is for folks who want to know how well this paper holds up -- in my experience: amazingly well!I applied the paper to my Formica kitchen countertops (see before and after pics) over two years ago. Since then, the paper has not peeled or stained -- it looks like when I applied it. Honestly, I'm shocked. I thought the edges would pop up at some point, but nope, everything has stayed stuck. These counters are pretty high traffic since my kitchen is tiny. To keep the paper nice, I just make sure of a few obvious things: 1) I don't put anything hot directly on it; 2) I wipe it regularly; 3) I keep sharp things away (don't cut stuff on it, duh). The last point I was actually a bit lax on, so I have some superficial scuffs where i dragged a coffeemaker back and forth every day for like a year before I realized I was scratching the paper.The bottom line is, the paper was only meant to be a temporary glow-up until I remodeled my kitchen, but it's held up so well, I'm fine with keeping it and continuing to save money!I won't go in-depth into the application process since many other reviewers have shared tips -- I'll just say I watched a couple Youtube videos and used an Exacto knife and credit card. It was pretty easy, and it turned out really well -- just a few tiny bubbles that I fixed easily. My one minor beef (because I am anal) is that I got two rolls, and I swear one roll had a warm undertone and the other had a cool undertone. No one has said anything or probably even notices, and I stopped obsessing about it as soon as I put down the paper and saw how good it looked compared to mint green laminate (sorry, retro fans).I haven't tried removing it, so can't speak to that. But if you're into the long-term outlook, I say go for it!

I purchased this to transform my old coffee table. It was a pretty enough table with gray wood and black metal, but I needed a change. I ended up using two rolls to cover the two wooden slabs of the table (about 38"x 17"), though I later realized one roll would have sufficed if I'd measure better and not left as much extra.If you have corners in your project (as in need to paste in downwards like on a shelf or box) I'd suggest getting someone to hold one end and push downwards with a book to get out all air bubbles. Work slowly and gently press the film onto the surface from one end to the other, it's worth the work. After the extra work to get it perfectly around the slabs, I was pleased to see this looks genuinely pretty! Very close up, the air bubbles on the very edges are noticeable, but from a distance of more than 10 inches, it's nearly flawless!The table is now the pride of my living room and I have becomes a little obsessed with using this anywhere I can. I even used it on old lamps to give them a new feel. I definitely recommend this for a great little DIY, it works on sprucing up most surfaces, though I haven't used them on kitchen counters. It works very well on plastic, metal and wood. Make sure the surface you are using it on is under 17.7 on the smallest side, pasting them side to side takes away from the beauty and doesn't look very good because the seams are impossible to hide. Overall, it's great faux marble!

I had originally ordered the d-c-fix adhesive film in Blackwood to redo my bed frame (review here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R3N74ZCP6RAIMX?ref=pf_ov_at_pdctrvw_srp) and I loved how it held up. I have a windowsill that I was never happy with because the paint made it hard to clean, especially once I started growing plants -- the dirt often smeared and I worried that spilled water would be missed and cause damage. I had thought about repainting it with a gloss/semi-gloss paint but never got around to it and it occurred to me that I could try the roll of the Grey/Black marble adhesive film that I had purchased with the Blackwood for another project I have planned but never actually got around to starting. Unfortunately, the black veining in the marble was a bit too dark for my liking on a windowsill, so I purchased this grey one instead.I think it was a success and I love it! After redoing my bed, applying the film to my windowsill was mostly a breeze. I ran into issues because the windowsill isn't an exact rectangle, it's more a slight trapezoid, and I misjudged the length I needed so it was short in one corner by a few millimeters. You could definitely tell because the glossy surface of the adhesive and the matte paint contrasted each other. I fixed it somewhat with a little more adhesive film, but this pattern isn't forgiving at all -- unless you manage to match up the pattern it's very easy to tell where you overlap.So far it's done exactly what I want it to do -- cleanup is a breeze and because of it's glossy nature, the shine makes it look like real marble from a distance. Two things give it away when up close: 1) the texture of the windowsill below shows through the film so it's not a smooth marble look and 2) the pixelated look of the marble pattern (the latter of which is why I docked a star.) I applied this in mid December 2019 and it's now almost May 2020 and there's been no warping despite the temperature changes by the windowsill, it looks and feels like I just applied it.I've included photos of before and after the adhesive was applied as well as a comparison with an actual marble tile so that you can see how closely it looks to the real thing. Again, from a distance it looks pretty good, it's only when you get closer can you see the pixelation on the marble print.d-c-fix is now my go-to for decorative adhesive films. I do wish they could improve the marble patterns so it's not as pixelated. Quality-wise, however, the ones I've used are excellent.(edited on 5/22 to add photos)
