Assembling formixa countertop
For some reaon, I bought a new countertop at HD or Lowes, in two
pieces (rather than order it precut). I need some way to hold it in place while I glue the two main pieces together. I thought I could do this on my lawn, but no place is really flat. I can do it inside, but the backsplash is in the way if it's upside down, and the fron molding in the way if it is right side up. Any suggestions? |

The cleats will ensure the countertop stays together even if the glue dries out. |
