<p class="p__0">Before you scribe, align the front edges of the countertop parallel to the cabinet fronts. Close gaps where the backsplash satisfies the wall if possible. Scribe the top as shown in Image 6. Remember you can remove approximately 1/2 in. from the backside of the backsplash to fit your wall.</p>
<br>
<p class="p__1">Next, sand down the back edge (Photo 7) of the backsplash to your scribe line with a belt sander. Tip the belt sander somewhat to undercut the backsplash for a tighter fit. Set the countertop back against the walls and check it for fit. It needs to fit on the very first try, but you might need to do some extra sanding for a tight fit.</p>
<br>
<p class="p__2">Make sure you have an accumulation strip under the backsplash behind the sink and at each side of the sink base cabinet. The complete weight of the sink requires continuous assistance. Cut the Opening from the Bottom Side, Use a jigsaw with a medium-cut blade. The blade cuts on the up stroke, so do all your cuts from the bottom of the counter top to lessen chipping.</p>

<p class="p__3">After the hole is cut, set the sink into the opening to check the fit. Do a bit of trimming if it binds as you drop it in. Use smartliving home repair services to cut the counter top to length, Photo 11: Use a handsaw to cut the countertop, Cut the end of the counter top with a sharp 10-tooth-per-inch handsaw.</p>
<br>
<p class="p__4">Cut 1/16 in. outside the mark and then belt-sand to the line. Next, glue (use carpenter's glue) and clamp a buildup strip onto the underside of the top and flush with the edge. Picture 12: File the end cap, Cut and glue the end cap for your trimmed end. Use a fine mill file to tweak completion cap so it conforms to the shape of your counter top.</p>

<p class="p__5">Photo 13: Caulk the miter joint, Squeeze a bead of siliconized acrylic adhesive caulk onto the edge of each miter joint and after that attach the countertop sections together as previously. Make sure the tops are flush as you tighten the bolts. Before we could assemble the miter joint, we needed to cut the short area of the countertop exactly flush with the cabinet end (Image 11) to make space for the variety.</p>
