In a recent flip we did, we hired a contractor to install granite countertops who stated he had never done it before but thought he would be ok. We decided to let him give it a go. 

When he went to adhere the slabs of granite together, he paced them on the floor on top of cardboard when applying the resin. It bled through to the top of the granite and adhered the cardboard to the granite. 

Him and his friends installed the countertop and left the cardboard stuck to it and we never heard from him since. 

This resulted in us having to purchase a whole new granite countertop.

Lesson learned!
