How to Apply Benchtop End Finishing

Apply glue to both surfaces

Apply contact glue to both the benchtop edge and the back of the end finishing strip.

If using aerosol glue, apply two coats. If using tube glue, spread it evenly using a spatula.

Leave to dry for 5 minutes

Allow the glue to dry off for approximately 5 minutes before applying the end finishing strip.

Note: Drying time may vary slightly depending on the glue used, so always check the product instructions.

Apply the end finishing strip

Carefully line up and apply the end finishing strip to the benchtop edge.

Make sure it is centered correctly before it touches the glued surface.

Important: Once the contact glue touches, it will be impossible to move the strip, so position it carefully.

Apply pressure

Press the end finishing strip firmly into place using a roller.

Alternatively, use a wooden block with a soft backing such as a rag to apply even pressure.

Trim away the excess

Trim away any excess end finishing very carefully using a fine-toothed file.

Note: Work carefully to avoid damaging the benchtop edge or the applied strip.

Finish with a sanding block

Lightly finish the edge with a sanding block to smooth and refine the end finishing.

Clean off excess glue

Clean away any excess glue using a rag and glue cleaner.
