I used this peel and stick paper to cover up a smooth laminate backsplash from counter to cabinet. It works great. Because of the short distance (10 inches) I ended up wasting a lot of paper because the pattern repeat on this Clementine design is large. Not a problem, just something I did not plan for since I have never tried this before. If you are covering a similarly small area and need to make quite a few cuts, I highly recommend using a cutting mat with grid and a stiff meta ruler. So much easier.
