Step 9 Final Fit Tops and Make Up Joint
9.1
Once the tops have been cut to their scribed marks, Endcaps and Endsplashes have been installed
and Sink Cutouts have been made, place them into position to check the fit at the wall, the joint and any criti-
cal overhangs.
Make any adjustments necessary so overhangs into a stove opening are flush, joints are tight and align
evenly, and no gaps exist greater than 1/8” where the back of the laminate countertop meets a wall.
When the fit is correct, make a pencil index mark across the joint at the front and back of the top. This mark
will aid alignment in the next steps.
