Hiya fellas,
I'm replacing the kitchen bench-top in my rental on the cheap using some lengths of 38mm postformed laminate worktop. Unfortunately this stuff is only postformed on one edge the other being typical exposed MR particle board. Of course just my luck to need one length (1200mm) to have the rounded edge on both sides.
So I figure my best option is to saw a 50mm wide strip of the postformed edge off a spare piece of worktop and attach it to the bench. This would also make the benchtop wider so there is overhang on both sides of the cabinets.
I plan on using biscuits for alignment but I'm undecided on which glue to use between just Titebond 3, an adhesive/sealant like Sikaflex 11FC, polyurethane or epoxy.
I know edge-to-edge particleboard joints are not ideal but I figure with enough biscuits, the right glue and the fact that the join should be sitting over the cabinet, I might be OK.
Love to hear your thoughts... cheers.
Mike
