Description: *****You can buy Formica products online with free shipping. They will roll the laminate and put it into a well protected box. They have numerous sizes from 30" x 96" to 60" x 144". Its so easy today to do your own custom laminating. The laminate in this video has a special etching finish and i used 5ftx12ft sheets amzn.to/394ZuJz ***** The bevel edge is a specicial etchings molding and matches the sheet laminate above. The pieces are only sold in 96" lengths only. They do charge for shipping but you will most likely order more than one. When ordering matching edge molding and laminate sheets make sure they are the same name and finish. Also make sure you get extra just incase. amzn.to/2T2fqXc ***** The glue used in this video is a water based glue. This glue goes a long way because its water based make up. In this video i used around 1 1/2 quarts. The glue is sold in 1 quart, 1 gallon and 5 gallon pails. I buy the 5 gallon and it lasts up to 10-15 separate jobs. When spread out, you must let the water base completely dry out on both surfaces before contacting. I love this because you have a lot of time before you stick it together. Read the instructions before using, this isn't like regular contact cement and its odorless, won't get you high and sick. They make green color but i can only find the netruel color, its the same just a different color. amzn.to/390SnSh ***** Trim router amzn.to/2PrqGKA ***** Router bit straight flush cut amzn.to/2VtuLC0 ***** Router bit bevel flush cut. I use this bit when i want to get real close flush cutting. It will eliminate a ton of finish filing. The deeper you set the bit the closer you come to the finish on the opposing laminate. Be careful not to set to deep or you will cut into the opposing laminate. amzn.to/2wNZizW ***** Mill bastard file. Big tool in this trade, youll need it amzn.to/2wTk7ds ***** Belt sander amzn.to/3a8izdO ***** Paint roller cover and frame amzn.to/2vkzQla In this video i go step by step to show you how to make your own bevel edge counter top. You can do it yourself, just pay attention on how to remove the old, cut the wood core, glue the laminate, trim the laminate, apply the bevel edge, and install.
