I'd say "don't do it."  If your dishwasher, sink, etc. leaks it will
warp and there's no fixing it but to redo it.  Happened to a friend of
mine; he got a sweet deal on rent with the understanding that he'd do
handyman type stuff around the house.  His landlady wanted Pergo in
the kitchen and guess what happened...
