Hi everyone
Just wondering if people have had much success fitting a solid edge lipping to kitchen work tops whilst keeping the lipping flush to the top?
I have just tried gluing and pocket screwing the lipping to the work top, this worked fantastically (Pocket screws on underside of worktop). However when gluing up I found keeping the lipping perfectly flush to the worktop was just too hard. I've always been told to leave the lipping ever so slightly proud of the worktop and then scrape it down when the glue has set. I'm finding it impossible to get a true flush joint when without scratching the melamine surface.
Has anyone got any tips? Or is this just the reason that you don't see it very often as its so hard/ time consuming to do.
Cheers
Russ
