Hi all,
I have a 38mm worktop where I have cut a curved corner on one end. I have some of the laminate edging strip and all would be straightforward apart from the fact the worktop has a rolled edge. How can I go about doing a neat a tidy job of applying this laminate strip?
Thanks for your help

You want contact adhesive on both edges, and some duct tape to hold it in place. You fit it to the top edge, and then score it from behind with a craft knife underneath, and snap it along it's length, but as it's curved at the front, you may find that section tricky. Afterwards use a sanding block and fine sandpaper to smooth off the top edge to create a 45 degree angle, but do it upwards so that you don't catch the laminate on a downward stroke.
