It's a 1/2"- 2 flute carbide flush cut with a bearing at the end. Pretty standard product.

I live in Russia & everyone I know here has a problem w/ water seeping between the laminate pieces and the chipboard swells. This even happens when wiping counters with damp rag. My old countertop swelled to twice its size. I've tried everything I can think of to protect my new one-most successful was covering all joins w/ metal spacers. Each cabinet has a separate top, so there are lots of joins. I hope to buy one single countertop and seal it somehow. Do you know what I can seal it with?

Clear lacquer would probably work for that.

Make sure you open the window.

Epoxy can be used to stick the laminate on also.

wow this ids great somebody that really does not know anything about contact cement. Any of the can sprays only last a short time and were designed for end splash self edging and not for large areas.the reason for this is the solid content or the neopream part has to be cut to next to nothing to pass through the spray tip.i own a custom laminate shop in the S.F BAY AREA since 1965. We use a special contact cement from wilson art in a prssureized spray system. If you need help e mail i can help

I see you also insulted the guy who shows how to file laminate.

Why don't you make your own videos and keep your unproductive comments to yourself.

It's called trolling btw.

[ShuttleSpaceCA]

The 3M 90 is the best I've used. If you can't place your material accurately, put something in between, sticks, plastic, etc, but once it touches, it's there to stay... or get out the laquer thinner, so take extra care.

I couldn't hear a thing.

The guy knows nothing about laminates is using a file all over after routing to trim the edge. What a horror. And using canned spray for such large areas is idiotic. His counter top will come apart in 2 years. Perhaps his wife can do better.

This should be renamed.. "HOW NOT TO TRY TO LAMINATE COUNTERTOPS"

[manholewisdom]

I din't know you could shear cut that laminate with a file like that.. but after seeing you do it I can see it working great.

he didn't read the directions on the can... he was holding the can to close to the surface- he also had a lot of problems trying to lay on the laminate because he didn't use dowel rods to hold the pieces apart before the glue sticks.next he didn't smooth out the air bubbles from the center out.. he has no idea how to do this

@ShuttleSpaceCA Give Wilsonart 740A contact adhesive a try and you might change your mind regarding the 3M product.
