My counter tops have an L shape. How do you handle cutting a corner?

We over-lapped in the "elbow" of the L shape and it is barely noticeable. Also worth mentioning, I'm impressed how the material has help-up around the sink. The only downside is that the product comes rolled-up which causes creases in the material and unfortunately, when applied to the counter top it has creases in it. Otherwise, totally happy with the instant granite counter tops. Don in Parker, CO

We used a hair dryer to shape it. I am not sure if that would help or answered your question. It was trial n error for us. It turned out ok for us. Good luck!

I did my kitchen counter and it has a corner, we cut right on the grid of the corner. I cut into the corner so none of the previous counter was showing and smoothed the granite down and it did great.

Just butt the seams 45 degree or 90 degree angle. You will see seams on L Shaped counter tops no matter what, but you can make them less visible by putting random dots with permanent black marker on the seams after trying to make them as tight as you can.

I followed the counter cut, it blended very well. you can feel it but it is not noticeable unless you are on top of it. When I cut it I angled my blade, opposite of each other.

Watch the video on instant granite on YouTube, it shows corners well. I had round corners and was a little harder, I just cut and pulled down where ever it looked like it needed to fold over it's self. It is not as hard as it sounds, once you get started it will kind of sort it's self out.

The corners and the edges of the top are well ground and beveled. Nothing sharp. As you feel the edges, you can feel the three angles that each edge makes; the top bevel, the ground edge and the bottom bevel. Same thing for the corners.Getting cut isn't an issue. This is a quality item with due consideration for safety around the house.

I cut mine with scissors. It is solid plastic but still a little flexible and not really thick. A utility knife should work, too.

I just cut my corners at a 45 degree angle I used a box cutter but you have to make a few cuts before you cut all the way through also cut on something hard not cardboard you'll get a cleaner cut after I cut the first corner I used it to mark the other corners it helps.i hope this helps you out some.

Yes, if there are a few small pieces I generally place all of them together, laminate and then cut themto the shapes. Else you can cut to your preferred size ans is done well.

The corners are square (not rounded) but I wouldn't call them sharp. My two year old plays with his kitchen daily and we have never had any problems.

Yes, I was doing that yesterday with cheap 7mm laminate!The blade acts equally over the whole surface of the laminate, so the wider the piece (or if you cut at an angle), then the harder work it is to cut.

If you have a small counter with no angle cuts it looks beautiful. Once you start having to cut angles one wrong measurement ruins the entire product. The smaller the counter the better.

Well yes, sorta. It is a large oval shape so yes you could put it in a corner but obviously the rounded shape will not fit into a squared corner. Also a heads up if you use one of those larger scoopers (like mine which is metal) it will be more difficult getting into the contours of the oval. There we go again with ovals and squared scoopers

I used a pair of small jewelry wire end cutter pliers (NOT SIDE CUTTER). which I modified by grinding them dull (rounded) so as not to cut the ferrule. They worked perfectly. Figure I can resharpen them if I have to.

You will have to scribe the corner to cut. I have done this many times. Most directions have the information on how to do this. So the answer to your question is that it is not a problem, just an extra step.

With the top on snuggly, turn the top 1/4 of a turn counter clockwise. I usually go about 1/2 inch past that first 1/4 turn.

Make the shape in cardboard and use as a guide. Then use a very sharp knife to make the cut. Best regards, C2CSAFETY best sourse for Pelican cases.

I haven't really tried. try with a little sharper tool or finger nail to start from a corner end.

The outside dimensions are 22" so as long as you have 22" in the clear across the top of the counter. Do not let it encroach into the sweep / curve of the Back Splash as well as being far enough back in the front to allow for the cabinet face below. You should be OK if all checks out. When you get it take it out of the box and lay it face down on the counter top and mark out the edge for cutting. After you mark you need to remark 1/4" inside of the line you marked for the final cut line. Tape the surface plate of your jig saw to prevent scratches on the top during cut out. Good Luck!

Yes, this sounds weird but take a butter knife and gently lift up on the corners. Hope this helps.

yes, I cut mine, I recommend cutting it in a curve rather than a 90 degree cut if u must make a corner, this will reduce the chance of a tear
