I had a piece of laminate pull apart from a counter top. It is an island counter that has a curved edge. I bought a laminate trimmer today (Bosch) and realized that I will not be able to get the region where it curves with the trimmer. How do I do this ?

You go as far as possible with the trimmer and use a file for the rest of it. VERY carefully, Brian. I use black tape on the countertop. It resists the file a bit more than masking tape.
Hmm, if you can't get a trimmer in there, how do you get a file? OK, reset to new answer: Get out your dremel and be very careful with it from the countertop side. If you're really good, use your Bosch vertically.
That's my SWAG and I'm stickin' to it.

...the one's I buy at the cabinet supply are course on one side and fine on the other...Lew's right, tho, if you have nothing else, just sneak-up on it...done it several times...
Ok. Thanks everyone. The file did the trick in the areas I couldn't get with the laminate trimmer. This was my first re-lamination job on a counter top. I must have had the flush trim bit extended to far because with the right light I can see where the bit tapped into the lamination (top) that I was referencing off of. Next time I think I will tape off the region the bearing rides on to prevent this in the future ?. Not sure where I went wrong other than bit being extended to far. If it were wood, I'd just sand the sucker.
