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, C152 or TR35 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 Trend Fill & Seal
®
sealant before assembly, to prevent moisture
seeping into the core of the worktops, which
would swell, and disfigure the worktop
