We are finally removing old ugly tile and replacing with premade laminate counters. I'm curious about any tips or pitfalls to avoid as we got no info from the BIG store where we bought it. It's the standard rounded edge countertop, pre-mitred, with a built in backsplash. We have on L-shaped section with open ends and one other straight section with open ends, so we have room or error on the measurements. One sink hole to cut.
My specific questions are....
What type of saw/blade should we use to make the cuts? Should we cut from the laminate side or from the bottom for the cleanest cuts? What do we use at the mitred joint to seal it and ensure a good fit? Any other helpful tips?
Today is demo day and we'll be installing tomorrow. I appreciate any advice.
Thanks
Julie
