You can get slabs of Corian and it’s wonderful stuff. But probably too pricey and you’re too far along with the laminate approach.

So the side strip needs to be straight if I glue it on after the top. I could do the edge first, trim it and then do the top but too impatient to wait for the glue to dry. I would probably do it that way i was starting over but too late now. I now have some nice bench tops without laminate on the edges.

To trim to the edge you need a router and a flush trim router bit. You then apply the laminate with a bit of overhang and trim it flush with the router. They make smaller than normal routers for this they specifically call laminate trimmers. But I've always just used my regular router. Now I think about it, there might have been a dremel or Roto zip attachment for this as well.

I have been saving the factory edge of the laminate to make myself some edge banding. But I am out of factory edges and do not know how to cut a perfect edge strip. I can cut it straight but the surface will be chipped. Have tried the tape and backwards blade tricks but not having good luck. I think you might be able to buy coils of pre-cut edge strips but I don’t know what they are called. -- AF mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
