Yes we did. Just use some strong tape to minimise the chipping. If there is likely to be liquid spilt near it, it is a good idea
to seal the raw edge to prevent it swelling.
Please be careful as the laminate edge is very sharp. Hubby's mate nearly removed two fingerprints help him with it. Sort of
ironic as he is a copper. Required stitches in the hospital. I nearly fainted when I rang from work and hubby says he has cut the
top off his fingers and is driving himself to the hospital. But I was adding an extra 'f'. He had cut the top OF his fingers, not
right OFF.
