FAQs
Can this kit be used on solid wood worktops?
No, this kit is specifically formulated for laminate worktops and the repair of laminate surfaces.
Does the ColorFill harden immediately?
ColorFill is designed to set fairly quickly, which is why it is important to wipe away excess material immediately after tightening the joint.
Are the included bolts reusable?
Yes, the high-quality 150mm jointing bolts can be reused, provided they are not stripped during installation.
What is the primary function of the solvent?
The solvent is used to clean up excess ColorFill and prepare the surface for a clean, professional finish.
How do I ensure the bolt stays in place?
The EasiBolt system includes a built-in holder specifically designed to secure the bolt on the underside of the worktop during installation.
Troubleshooting
Joint not pulling tight enough
Ensure the EasiBolt is centered correctly in the recess and the wood isn't obstructing the thread; check that the mitre cut is clean and square.
Visible adhesive residue
Immediately clean excess material with the provided solvent; if it has already hardened, gently scrape with a plastic edge scraper before using a tiny amount of solvent.

- Provides a long-lasting, water-resistant seal on laminate joints
- Includes all necessary components for both new installation and repair

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before beginning, ensure the worktop edges are clean, dry, and free of dust. To install, apply a generous bead of ColorFill to the mating surfaces, pull the joints together using the provided EasiBolt system until tight, and immediately wipe away any excess using a small amount of the included solvent on a clean, lint-free cloth. To maintain the joint over time, avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners that may degrade the ColorFill sealant. Periodic inspection of the joint will help you identify if any minor re-application of ColorFill is necessary in high-wear areas.
