Hey folks,
I'm getting new kitchen worktops fitted - 38mm laminated chipboard, bullnose edge, the usual stuff. I've had to buy 3 x 3m lengths, when I really only need 6.4m. With the spare offcut, there has been a suggestion from Her Ladyship that "we" make the vertical end of the unit from the spare bit of worktop ... so instead of the unit end being the wall of the last cupboard, it'll be made from worktop.
Sounds OK, but is such a join possible? I know it would be easy to do by just having the vertical piece of worktop wholly under the top surface, finished edge to the front. But this might look like an awkward join, with the two rounded bullnose edges meeting at 90 degrees. Would it be possible to mitre it? Would you get a good, clean, and tight join? How would you fasten the two together underneath to ensure join was tight enough to prevent water getting into the join?
Any other bright ideas?
Cheers.
