It seemed great on Instagram. What a disappointment.

I am waiting for one just ONE honest influencer to apologize and clarify this product. In my personal and professional life I always try to give my business to Jewish businesses, but this is just not right.

I got an imitation here, worked well.

An imitation? It's a brand new product, what's an imitation of it?

I feel so validated.
I found it easier to apply and it looked so nice, but I struggled to get it off as much as I had with contact paper and I haven’t even dealt with the residue yet. My countertops are Formica.

I spent $130 on Dekal and my counters are thick with residue. I'm using goo gone, clorox etc and it's a very slow go. Anyone had success with different products to remove it?

After trying everything else, winded has been the most effective, that being said, I will still need to do a few more times till it’s all gone. Would not use it again 😩

I scrubbed and scrubbed with goo gone, magic sponge, soap etc and still sticky residue.

It's brand new in the US, there are a few companies in Israel for the past few years.

The influencers should NOT have raved about it before PROPERLY testing it out for 8 days.
I find it very dishonest and non transparent to conduct a so called "quick patch test" and then go on to praise and extol it's virtues, whilst luring in the masses.
Influencers carry a responsibility and should not be enticing people to buy goods that don't live up to their claims.

Are the Israeli brands better? Do they leave residue?

If they prove themselves to be dishonest , they will lose all credibility and influence

The good ones don't.
And, apparently, the one I used. I can check the name later.

Yes, we were left with residue too.
However, my disappointment started already when dh saw it at a local hardware store and bought the silver (the prettier marble designs were sold out) and paid $39.99 a roll, while it's only $32.50 on the website.

Saw it advertised all over but looked like expensive contact paper. How is it different ( besides for the difficulty in removing it) than using plain old contact paper

It is glorified contact paper

Talk about a "cover up"... (Pun intended)

The company have a nerve to mislead and deceive the public in such a manner with outright lies. It's nothing short of appalling. They ought to provide a full refund.

I was shocked people were buying it, it’s literally expensive contact paper…

Was also told something that thin needs to be only on kashered counters. I did contact paper when I had granite counters but now I don’t so we did heavy duty tablecloths…

Seems easier to just kasher granite counters than cover them.

Just curious why the thickness of the cover matters if it is non-porous.
