snipped useful tips



Thanks for any advice you may be able to give. I've tackled everything
in
the house myself so far (with lots of helpful advice from here), but I
would
probably have left this one to a professional. Unfortunately no-one
seemed
to be interested in doing the work (not unless they also supplied their
own
low quality worktops). In any case, as my mother-in-law helpfully
pointed
out, I could mess up quite a few cuts before it would have been cheaper
to
get someone in!

If you have enough worktop, try a practice cut near one end.



Thanks for the tips. The pricing structure of the worktops meant that an
additonal £5 resulted in an extra 2m of worktop. I should finish up with a
few small offcuts and one length of around 10ft, so I guess I have enough
for a couple of practice runs. Not too many, though - I could use that
piece in the shed :-)
