4. Turn the backsplash over and press against the countertop and the back
wall using a rolling action toward the wall. Any sealant which is smeared
onto the backsplash should be removed with a sharp, wide chisel,
followed by a clean, white cloth dampened with denatured alcohol.
5. Caulk inside corner between backsplash and countertop using
“push” method if desired.
Do not adhere full-height backsplashes or wall cladding to countertops
using Corian® Joint Adhesive. 100% silicone sealant should be used as it
allows for movement due to building structure settling and possible
future replacement of the countertop.
15. Faucet Holes
Faucet holes can now be made if previously not done in the fabrication
shop. is can be achieved by using a router with a sharp, straight,
carbide-tipped router bit and a template, or by using a hole cutter.
It is essential that the top and bottom edges be sanded or routed to a
1/
16"
(1.5 mm) radius to avoid creating stress risers.
16. Inspection and Cleanup
• If not done previously, sand entire top with a random orbital sander
with a dust vacuum system using a 60-micron sanding disk.
• Wash the top to remove any sanding residue. en buff the entire
surface with the appropriate 3M™ Scotch-Brite™ Clean Sanding Disc
to provide a uniform surface appearance.
• If there is excess sheet, leave some for future repairs with the customer
if feasible. If the material installed is directional mark the sheet
orientation on the bottom of the installed sheet and the spare material.
• Clean up the site thoroughly, removing all excess materials.
