Vanity Sink Installation

This procedure provides instructions for under mounting
a vanity sink directly to a solid surface countertop using
color-matched acrylic adhesive.  The sink can be the
same or a contrasting color to the vanity top.  The rim of
an under mounted sink is designed to give a seamless
appearance, as if it was molded as one piece with the
vanity or bar top.

1.

To prevent damaging the top surface of the
countertop, cover the work table with a clean drop
cloth, thin foam pad, or corrugated cardboard.

2.

Place the solid surface countertop upside down on
the protective cloth or pad.

3.

Position the sink on the countertop.  The position of
the sink should meet the user’s desired location.

Note

: Make sure the overflow drain is located toward

the front edge of the countertop, as shown.

4.

Draw a pencil line around the sink rim.

5.

Thoroughly sand the underside of the countertop,
inside the sink outline, with 36 grit sanding pads.
Sand an area 3 inches wide up to the pencil line.
Remove all gloss and rough up the surface to allow
for proper adhesion.  Do not remove the pencil mark
of the sink outline.

6.

Thoroughly sand the rim of the sink with 36 grit
sanding pads.  Remove all gloss and rough up the
surface to allow for proper adhesion.

7.

Clean all the sanded surfaces with denatured
alcohol.  Remove all dust and let the surfaces dry
completely.  Do not remove the pencil lines used to
locate (position) the sink on the countertop.
