Hi I was hoping you could tell me an easy and cost effective way to patch up this small burn mark on a white laminate bench top, I have included a coin in the image to show a size comparison. Ta
Hi @nfount
-The ultimate fix is replacing the laminate sheeting but I havnt seen stocks of laminate any where these days.
- Replace the bench top there are a bunch of bench tops avaliable at bunnings to choose from. You need the similar sizes for starters.
Repair the laminate as best as possible
I would try scratching that black off and out back to what ever color is underneath the black burn mark. I might use butter knife as a scraper point downwards.I hope it will go white.
Plan B mix up some araldite any type and mix in a couple drops of acryilic white paint (with a whisker of yellow) so the mixed araldite looks white.
Fill the hole with white araldite and then cover the hole with clear sticky tape stretched across this will give a flatter shiny gloss finish hopefully level with the bench top height. and no sanding required.
If sanding required use 1200 gt wet and dry sand paper, Wet the sand paper with water and the bench top to and in small circles only on the repair spot sand back any lumps .
@EricL may know some more ready made purpose products on hand at bunnings to suit this purpose.
Hope this helps you.
Welcome to the community @nfount.
Great to see you get some helpful advice from @Jewelleryrescue. He is correct that replacing might be the only way to get a perfect result. But there are other techniques you might like to try as suggested by our resident Bunnings D.I.Y. expert @EricL in the discussion How to fix a burn mark on benchtop laminate? as well as the Best Advice article How to repair a damaged laminate benchtop?
Hope that helps.

Hi @nfount
There is a bench top white or black repair kit I never used it as the cost of it I prefer replacing the actual top but that isnt everyones skill level as many factors are involved.
