How to Scribe a Countertop - LE Smith

Step 5:
Set a pencil compass to it’s widest distance.
Without moving the countertop, place the point
of the compass on the wall and the pencil on
the backsplash. Run the compass along the
entire length of the countertop.
Step 6:
Place the countertop back onto the saw horses, again with the laminate
side facing up. Precisely sand the pine stick and laminate up to the line you
drew with the compass, while conserving the angle you sanded previously
in step two. Be sure you are sanding so that the belt on the sander is
cutting toward the pine stick. By doing this, you will avoid chipping the
laminate surface.
Step 7:
Now that your scribing is complete, place the countertop back on the
cabinet. Look for any gaps. If there are gaps, fill them in with caulk that
matches the color of your laminate countertop.
Your scribing is complete!
You are now ready to install your brand new countertop!
