Sticking worktop edging strip tips

Was this for joining the worktop to tile edge?

I made up a work surface from 19mm MDF - then put laminate flooring on it - left a "yuk" edge to hide - got this flat profile (right thickness) from local window manufacturer & stuck it on - perfect - great looking job and VERY cheap (badly needed!) - my units were c1970's and had 2 LARGE, DEEP corner units so conventional worktop no good
Would work with tiles etc on top of a base also

Yeah but what edge are you talking about?

Blake_Ed

Looking side on (mdf + laminate flooring) = 2 thickness of materials - looking at you - on that

I'm sorry - I really can't understand where you used this

The reason I ask is that I have a 1.5cm gap between worktop and tiles as replaced units, but kept original tiles. The new units were slightly shorter than the original ones (hence the gap)

The suggestion of a using a but of window framing sounded good and I wondered if you had used it for the same problem I have

You can buy "upstand" for this problem or I have used cut down skirting board before or fill it with a contrasting "skinny" type of tile (normally used for top edging). Or wind the legs right down/put packing under to raise the units

Mine: Imagine putting your head on your right or left shoulder & lower your view to see the worksurface 's edge along the front - thats where I put it

I have found out, that the tins of "spray glue" for carpets is brilliant for sticking anything. Including the edging strips on the end of worktops.

I suggest that if you do use carpet spray glue in a can, spray glue on both items.

Or use "no nails" that will stick to anything, including my coving in the kitchen.

Alternatively, as other people mentioned, Evostick.
