FAQs
Can I use this on non-Wilsonart worktops?
This strip is color-matched specifically for Wilsonart Brasilia surfaces; it may not match the pattern or texture of other brands.
What type of glue should I use?
A standard, high-quality contact adhesive specifically formulated for laminate or wood surfaces is recommended.
Is this product heat resistant?
Yes, it is designed to withstand standard kitchen heat, but direct contact with hot pots or pans should still be avoided.
How do I cut the strip to size?
Use a sharp utility knife or a fine-tooth hacksaw for length, and a laminate file to smooth the edges flush.
Does the strip come with adhesive?
No, you will need to purchase a contact adhesive separately to complete the installation.
Troubleshooting
The strip is lifting at the corners
Apply a small amount of extra contact adhesive, clamp firmly until cured, and ensure the edge was properly sanded before the initial application.
Visible gaps between the strip and worktop
Ensure the worktop edge was cut perfectly straight; use a file to lightly bevel the seam to better conceal the joint.
Pros and Cons

- Requires precise measurement and cutting for a flush finish

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, first measure the length of your worktop edge and cut the strip slightly longer to allow for trimming. Apply a suitable high-strength contact adhesive to both the back of the strip and the clean, dry edge of the worktop. Wait for the adhesive to become tacky before pressing firmly into place, using a block or roller to ensure even pressure and to remove any air pockets. Once the adhesive is set, use a fine-tooth file or a specialized laminate trimmer to smooth the edges flush with the worktop surface. To maintain the finish, simply wipe down with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap; avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads that may dull the surface texture.
