Hello everyone,
I am remodeling our laundry room for my wife, and I have cut a laminate countertop to the dimension of the south wall, but when I butt the splashboard against the wall, it became apparent to me that there is a subtle bow in the wall (into the room) that prevents the full length of the splashboard from resting flush against the wall. The bow is in the center of the wall, roughly. The bow is not noticeable just looking at it, but holding a rigid level against the wall confirms that the bow is in the wall and not the laminate.
My question is how to close the gap between the splashboard and the wall, bearing in mind that the gap at each end is about 1/4". The portion of the splashboard that butts up against the portion of the wall that bows is the only part that butts nicely. On each end, the gap tapers out to 1/4". It seems to wide of a gap to simply caulk. The laminate is pearl colored and the wall is dark purple.
Any ideas are appreciated. Hopefully, it's something a novice can tackle.
