Kitchen worktop finishing
 

I've now got a new laminate kitchen worktop installed and need to glue
laminate onto the ends of the worktop where it has been sawn off and
the core is exposed.

Can anyone tell me what sort of glue to use?

Thanks,
larty.

Contact adhesive - e.g. Evostik.

Follow the instructions about allowing it to be touch dry first and
then remember that once it's on, it's for keeps, so you have to get it
right first time.

Evo-stik. Apply to both surfaces, attach, leave to dry and trim to
size with a sharp stanley knife\wood chisel and finish off with a fine
metal file

I have used Evostik in the past, but just recently I used
a regular resin based wood glue, and that's worked fine too.
The end pieces are usually oversized, and after they're
well and truely stuck on, I sand down the edge to be level
with the worktop, but you have to be careful not to go too
far and take the surface off the worktop itself.

I remember my father actually laminating whole worktops
around 1970 with large sheets of formica and gallons of
Evostick. We were proabaly all high for days afterwards...

A laminate triming bit in a router will do the job with less risk of
damaging the worktops surface.

And so you should have been - in 1970.

yeah, thats what I did - but I found I could see the adhesive layer between
the trim and worktop after filing down (perhaps it was due to old glue that
was a bit thicker and so left a slightly thicker layer?), anyway I wiped
some black paint (its a black worktop!) over it and wiped it off
immediately - stained the glue very nicely without staining the laminate :o)

Contact Adhesive - e.g.Evostik. Use a belt sander or orbital sander to
get a smooth surface. Coat both surfaces and allow to almost dry.
Offer up strip & stick - you only get one chance. It is best to try to
get the bottom of the strip to line up with the bottom of the worktop.
use the SIDE of a wood chisel to shear the laminate against the edge of
the worktop & finish with a surfoam tool at an angle to the worktop.

It's apply, leave to dry (10-15 mins), attach with Evo-stik.
