Blistered formica counter-top

bowsie casey

Looking for any suggestions for how to fix / improve appearance of a blistered formica couter-top.

Mrs Bowsie put a hot frying pan onto the counter for a few seconds, and when removed, it left a ring of blisters in the counter.

Any suggestions on what to do ? I doubt it can be repaired, and personally think we should put one of those glass-type cutting boards on top of it to prevent a further re-occurence and protect the blisters from being burst.

I've got exactly the same problem.

Any advice from someone who has done this before would be appreciated.

The only think I can think of is drill a tiny hole in the blister get a needle and inject some contact adhesive into it and then put weight over the blister and hopefully it will work.

One solution would be to get a tile or a piece of hardwood, the size of a chopping board or there abouts, then route out the damaged area and set whichever material you choose into the worktop.
Then you can use this to chop on or put very hot pots on without damaging the worktop.

I had a similar problem with a counter top - did the same as galwaydude - got rid of the blister but the discolouration was always there.

The low price point of formica tops means they really need replacement if they get damaged
