Worktop again

Post by lwasylow »

Hi
I've jsut cut the worktops using router and cut out the bolts, unfortunately when the worktop is placed the bolts holes are covered by the cabinet plank. Can i move a worktop a little bit and then bolt it ?

Also I;ve got a Mitre Bond glue but its saying setting time 10sec it's looks a really quick... Not sure if I in 10 sec can screw together 3 bolts ...

Its mitre bond adhesive and pen activator
Any advise?

Cheers

are both sides of the bolt covered? you only need one free side to tighten. if you are able to slide the top over alittle :thumbright: if not use a hole saw to cut holes were the nut goes.

for the joint, mitre mate is not really made for worktop joints. you need some exterior/waterproof pva glue

do not use mitre bond it is not waterproof
you need somthing that will completely cover all the area and have a bit off flexability and waterproof

Cheers I figure out that this stuff is used for ede strip and for worktop is colorfill with solvent. It actually went quite nice.
