Sealing A Worktop

Oct 31, 2006 3 Replies

I am installing a new kitchen.



Soon I will have to cut the worktop to fit. When I did this at my previous house, I sealed the cut ends and along the back next to the wall with PVA glue.



Reading on this NG recently I saw that PVA isn't waterproof, so, what should I use to seal the open ends.


I use car body undercoat, the brushable stuff. Goes on well and dries in minutes. Never had any lift on a surface yet.

The instructions that come with the ones that I fit state that silicon sealer MUST be used,

The fitting instructions that came with mine recommended sanding the raw edges and sealing with waterproof varnish.
