I'm close to finishing fitting my kitchen and about to fit the upstands
They are Egger laminate upstands and i notice that the edge that will sit directly on to the worktop has no laminate, it is bare exposed MDF
Now to me, this seems a little daft as that is the one area where water could penetrate so I just wanted to see if the practice is to seal that edge and if so, what with ?
I have some varnish that I used for the sink cutout (3 coats to seal the chipboard worktop) and then did a thin sealant cover also.
Would varnish be a sensible product to use ?
Finally, I'm wondering what adhesive to stick the laminate and skirting board to the wall. It needs to be workable for 10 mins while I position and then clamp in place
Any recommendations please ?
Thanks in advance
