I am remodeling a home, and I installed a new laminate kitchen countertop about 45 days ago that was 10 feet six inches long. Today I noticed a small 1/8 of an inch crack in the 1.5 inch strip that goes past the sinks that are installed in the countertop. (If one was washing dishes, the crack would be by the dishwasher's belt and away from the wall to which the counter was attached.) The kitchen has not been in use while I have been remodeling. Does anyone have any idea as to what could have caused the crack? Also, I doubt that there are any workarounds to the problem (the crack is fairly noticeable because of its location), if anyone has any ideas I would like to hear them becauae of course, I am not interested in installing a new countertop.
Thanks,
JD
