I would say that would be fine.
I think they use neat pva or contact glue or even clear silicone.I used Evostic contact glue on mine as I had a tin open.
I was fitting the laminate on the end of work top.0 -
silicon sealant (go for anti fungal) works too. run a thick bead around the cut surface, then use a flexible scraper to fully cover the areas.
pva is water based so probably there are better products
hope this helps0 -
I've always used silicone sealant. As mentioned above smear it over all the "open grain" of the work top and then put a bead around the top of the opening before seating your sink unit in. I've never had any problems doing it this way.
Makesure that all the "open grain" is covered, because you'll have seen how your weatabix goes when you've poured your milk on...My £2 savings total for 2007 = £92, for 2008 = £124
My savings from money off coupons for 2007 = £67.97, for 2008 = £194.79
My £2 savings for 2009 (so far) = £130
My savings from money off coupons for 2009 = £593.08
