Did the wheel wells. Also.  When it dries I will cover with a two part bar top epoxy.

After the disappointment about the counters, I decided to some wiring.  Tail lights wired, soldered and heat shrunk.

Front plug wired



After testing, the pre wired trailer plug was wired incorrectly, had to do some testing to ensure everything worked right.

For the counters I used peel and stick vinyl tile.  Put two coats of modge podge over the top in prep of the Bartop epoxy

I agree with OldSailor guessing you were able to remove bubbles from vinyl since you have applied epoxy.

I tore the original sheet vinyl off,  I utilized 12 inch vinyl tiles.  I figure when the adhesive was curing it release gas causing bubbles.  With the tiles it has more cracks for releasing.

Make sure when you are installing them to get them really warm.  Use a good adhesive.  I used this:

https://www.amazon.com/00141-Multi-Purpose-Floor-Adhesive-1-Quart/dp/B0006MXRXO/ref=pd_bxgy_60_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B0006MXRXO&pd_rd_r=MX86W7CF4EB0ZDVFD3EE&pd_rd_w=WT6d4&pd_rd_wg=fonZ4&psc=1&refRID=MX86W7CF4EB0ZDVFD3EE


If a corner starts to warp up set something heavy on it until the adhesive dries.

Front cabinet doors are built, painted and installed.  Tv mounted and of course to check out if the dvd player on the Jensen home theater system worked. Grumpy old men.
