Question 1

Is this easy to remove? I am renting and looking for a temporary fix for the countertops.

Accepted Answer

I've been covering kitchen counters with contact paper for years.  It's cheap and make a fast, big difference in the looks of the kitchen (and bathroom formica counters).  It comes off easily if you use a hair dryer to warm up the stuff (i.e. blow it back and forth along the top of the paper).  It'll come up.  I'm assuming that you're covering old formica counter-tops, right?  If there's any sticky residue after removing the contact paper, use Soft-Scrub with water and a scrubby-sponge to get off the residue.  If Soft-Scrub doesn't work --it should -- but if it doesn't, use Goo-Gone -- which is, btw, one of mankind's greatest inventions for removing all kinds of gunk.   Contact paper is great for a quick cheap make-over.   With reasonable care, it'll last a long time, but if you use it on the kitchen counter, you MUST use a cutting board when slicing stuff.  Oh, and when putting it down, make sure surface you're putting it down on is bone-dry, or it won't stick.  For the inevitable air-bubbles that show after you first put it down, stick a pin (straight pin, safety pin, whatever) in the air-bubble, and gently press the contact paper down, squeezing out the air.  Take your time, be patient.  Figure on spending a couple of hours doing the job, depending on size of the kitchen.  Oh, and don't butt the seams.  Instead, overlay by about 1/8th of an inch.  Contrary to other opinions, it does NOT get nasty and dingy with use, assuming that you are reasonably tidy and prompt about wiping up spills.

Question 2

would it be ok to use this on the back of my laptop???

Accepted Answer

I've only used it on Formica countertops but it peels off without any damage or sticky residue.

Question 3

Will this damage walls? I am looking for an inexpensive solution for a small laundry room, but don't want possible wall damage.

Accepted Answer

when you say wall damage, i assume when you remove it.it depends on the material of the wall (sheet rock, mdf board, concrete, etc.), and what's already on the wall. if the wall has been painted, there's a good chance of not having a wall damage when removed. if the wall has wallpaper, the wallpaper might come-off when you remove this film.try it in a small/hidden portion of the wall as a test.
