Cutting curves in worktop?

[999undecided999]

I would like to fit a duropal laminate worktop over curved base units.

My questions are,

1. Will this work?, (i really don't want a real wood surface)

2. Would it be better to expose the whole edge, and then reseal the whole exposed run plus curved corner in one go?

3. Would it be best to just cut and seal the curved corner?

Many thanks, 999undecided999

Best way is to rough cut with a jigsaw then make a thin MDF template and us ethis to run a bearing guided router cutter against. That way you will get the best possible surface to glu ethe edging to. Do it all in one if the end/face radius is not too tight.

Also consider a solid surface like Corian or one of the faced worktops like Getacore, Maia, minerelle as these wil not have the thin black line that you get with laminate where the edging joins the top.
