Has anyone refinished a formica countertop with Ardex?
It's a featherweight concrete. I am just wondering if you like the results, and also what kind of sealant you would recommend. This is for a small laundry room countertop that needs refinishing.

I have painted Formica with melamine paint in the past, but it was not a countertop that got lots of use, like a laundry room.
The Adrex looks like it is for finishing floors, I am not sure if it would stick to a smooth Formica counter. Also how would you handle the edges?
Please post photos of the finished project.

Yes, it's Ardex Feather Finish not Featherlight and it can be used for both floors and countertops. Here's a link to a blog where she used it for her laundry room countertop:

my style of diy learning for years! i've learned decorative interior plastering, paint color mixing, toilet repairs &, in current live-diy home, i've learned underground irrigation ...plus a whole lot more over the many many years of my diy life ..esp before there were internet forums like this. the folks at the hardware, irrigation, paint or flooring stores are the best source of info & learning i've ever found.
