Strengthening the Joint
If the joint between the worktops is not
supported underneath, after some time the joint
may ‘sag’ and become misaligned; to reduce this
the joint should be reinforced with a loose
tongue or biscuit dowels. The biscuit jointing
cutter set Trend Ref. 342 can be used with a
portable router. The size of biscuit used should
be No. 20.
Ref. BSC/20/100 (100 biscuits)
Ref. BSC/20/1000 (1000 biscuits)
A 650mm worktop should have at least 5
biscuits.
Sealing the Joint
The cut edges of the joint should be coated with
a water-resistant adhesive, or sealant before
assembly, to prevent moisture seeping into the
core of the worktops, which would swell and
disfigure the worktop.
Use a fine grit abrasive paper to clean up the
torn wood chips of both mating surfaces. Lightly
run the abrasive paper along the edges to de-nib
the cut chipboard edge. This will ensure a tidy
joint is achieved.
