I've never fitted worktops or a sink before but I'm fairly competent with simple joinery and plumbing, so I'm about to spruce up my tired early 90s kitchen with some new worktops and a new sink, and put a coat of paint on the cupboards.
First question: when cutting out the hole for the sink, should you cut into the worktop from the underside or the laminate side? I've seen contrasting opinions on this.
Second, my cupboards have a laminate finish, on which I would assume you can't use ordinary interior paint. What kind of paint should I use? I've seen a melamine primer recommended online, and presumably this will take coats of ordinary eggshell paint.
Thanks
