Hats Off to you!
Wax, as in parafin. Wherever you find canning supplies.
This will be messy & tedious. This melts around 140F.
melted over flame or directly is a danger. Use a "double
boiler:" a coffee can in a pot of water, on LOW.
Now some Formica is *sturdily* made and other is
"cheaply* glued on, so here's another risk.
The countertop must be warmed. Slowly, evenly.
And not excessively. I use cheap $1 coarse natural
bristle paint brushes to oil my cooking pans. One of
these could apply the wax, thinly.
Then go behind with a hair dryer and make it a liquid,
WITHOUT staying in one spot, or getting it overly warm.
Wipe off excess with a paper towel. Dishwashing gloves?
Buddy system...! In case of fire or burn. Dunno if
you've ever worked with melting wax. It can be flammable.
It makes candles... On YOU, it adheres a lil like making
candy, though THAT is at 400F, not 140F. Have a bucket
of cold water. 1st timers, wear some sort of glasses too.
And an apron.
