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.

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.
