I have watched a few other videos on this topic: this one is the best. Most of them mention that routing needs to be "counter-clockwise" but neither say what exactly that means, nor clearly demonstrate it. It was not until I watched this clip and saw how the router was moved counter-clockwise around the WORK that I understood what this meant in practical terms. This is just one example of why this clip is better than the others. And it is probably the most concise clip too. Thank you.

You make it look so easy. I've never done this before and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't intimidated to try it. The only part I don't understand is using that router with the special bit. What keeps it from cutting into the countertop?

Thank you. Do the router bit has a flushed guide bearing? Also is there a chance that if you don't guide the router correctly can it eat up the countertop? Thanks again

Don't nail in the stubby piece to the backsplash-- high probability of cracking the laminate. Also, the so-called pre-glue is touch-n-go adhesion. Play it safe and use contact cement.
@judasgoatamerika5992 жыл бұрын
oh yeah, contact cement is better and for the diy read the label on the can because there's wait time after applying cement on the countertop edge and end cap side before putting end cap on.
@dirkdiggler9379 Жыл бұрын
This guy does this for a living and yet you think you have a better way. Go ahead and try putting contact cement on laminate end pieces that have hot melt glue on them. Smh

I dry fitted 2 base cabinets with a dishwasher in between and now the boards I should nail on the ends of the 6ft. counter are too thick for the end caps. I only have a quarter of an inch on both ends to work with. Should I replace the boards from the kit with something thinner?

Contact cement (also sometimes called contact glue here). Just go to your local hardware store and ask, they should know what to give you.

what kind of bit did you use in the router.. I have a dremel with may bits.
@demeaningplebny13633 жыл бұрын
He explained it in the video. They make router bits specifically for trimming laminated plastic. There are two (2) types. The one he showed is inexpensive and you MUST use some sort of surface lubricant with it otherwise you will burn the plastic. If you think you might be doing more than just a few countertops or don't mind spending a little more, they also sell a more expensive bit that has a roller bearing on it that rolls the bit right along the top and you don't need to use a lubricant. -- I would recommend a router over trying it with a Dremel. Even if you use the Dremel attachment that makes it into a mini-router, there are two issues. First, Dremel attachments tend to be a bit sloppy as far as tolerances. More importantly, the powerful motor of a router is going to yield much cleaner results. If you don't have a router, borrow one from someone and buy the special bit. You don't want to mess up your countertop trying to do the task on the cheap.
