Why don't you use silicone?

Thanks for the reply Andy

My only real reason to look for a different solution than sealant for the cut edges, was the mess involved in application of sealant, and to be able to paint 2 coats of the adhesive on and let it soak on

I will obviously be running a bead of sealant on the top of the laminate to bed the sink onto

Is that a suitable/sensible alternative ?

Sean, you can use the contact adhesive but I normally find silicone easy and readily available to use. I squirt it on around the bare chipboard and smear it around with my fingers. (wearing latex gloves)

I use foil tape , waterproof and no chance of missing a bit since you can be sure what area you have covered.

You can't use contact adhesive not water proof.

Any old varnish or PVA glue works

first ive heard that contact adhesive isnt waterproof?
itcan be used in wet situations an outside areas - says so on the tin as well.
ive always used it to seal worktop cutouts but maybe ive been wrong?

On the spec sheet , should not be used in areas subject to immersion.
