Trace and cut laminate

for top and side strips. All

pieces should be oversized

by a minimum of a ½".

Clean all dust and

debris off of laminate

and countertop

substrate. Apply contact

adhesive according to

manufacturers instructions.

Allow curing time if

required.

Carefully position the side

strips to run even with the

bottom of the substrate.

Start at one end and work

gradually to the other.

STEP ONE STEP TWO

STEP THREE

Apply steady pressure

with a laminate roller

to ensure the proper

adhesion of the laminate.

STEP FOUR

Trim the excess laminate

by using a hand router

and bit. Keep the router

as level as possible for the

best results.

File the trimmed

laminate edge ush to

the substrate. Always

le toward the center of

the substrate to avoid

chipping.

STEP FIVE

STEP SIX

Place clean sticks across

the substrate and place

laminate on top of sticks.

Align laminate to desired

position.

Apply contact adhesive

to the underside of the

laminate sheet, as well

as the substrate per

manufacturers instructions.

Allow curing time if

required.

STEP SEVEN STEP EIGHT

Remove sticks, trying to

keep laminate in the same

position.

Bond laminate to substrate

with the laminate roller by

using steady pressure and

working from the center

out.

STEP NINE

STEP TEN

Spray a lubricant, such as

cooking spray, to the side

strips. Lubricant will help

prevent scratching to the

surface of the strips while

trimming. Trim any excess

laminate from the top using

the hand router with a

straight or ush-cut carbide

router bit. Keep router level

to avoid scratching side

strips.

File cut edges to be ush

to the side strips. File at a

slight angle in a downward

motion to avoid scratching

side strips. Clean

countertops with Acetone

once complete to remove

any glue residue.

Care & Maintenance To clean the surface, wash with a mild dish washing liquid or powdered detergent; add warm water. Use a soft dish cloth. Rinse with warm water and dry with cloth. Water is generally all that is needed. A quick wipe will clean most stains. For stubborn spots, make a paste with baking soda and water. The paste will be slightly abrasive. Work carefully to keep from damaging the surface you are cleaning. Dip a soft bristle brush into the paste to cover the bristles.
