I was apprehensive about tackling this job on my new worktops. Followed all your guidance and ended up with a flawless, professional-looking finish. Very glad I watched your video before I started! For me, I found a half-round file worked better than a square-edge file for removing the top edge.

Funnily enough I just did this today _before_ this video popped up in my feed. Well done KZitem! I used the pot of contact cement, but watching this the spray-on looks easier for sure. The adhesive dripped a lot but I had the sense to tape plastic over the side panel and floor. A couple of things I could have done better (pre-trimming the edging lengthwise... duh!) but overall I was happy with the result.

When you offer the edging to the work top, why not offer the factory edge to the top? And then when you file, it is only necessary to file the bottom edge, which will not be visible, and there is nothing there to damage.
@LTWCarpentry
Жыл бұрын
I do this for a few reasons, one it’s very hard to line the edge up perfectly two the factory edge is never great, you don’t notice it in the bottom but you will on the top, much nicer finish when you trim it to suit

Have you ever done a long run of edging tape which has held up? I've got to make a massively awkward worktop and have little choice but to use ~2.5m of edging tape to edge it after tapering a 1.2m section from 800mm wide to 570mm with a little radius transition.
