This is a video to show how a solid surface countertop is made. This is not ment to be a how to video as I do not go in to great detail.

Nice! Interesting to see how much work goes into getting one ready for install. Lots more work than I imagined.
Beautiful work! That custom grooved edge is lovely. Thanks for a great video and clearing up the mystery of how you attach an undermount sink to a 1/2" thick surface.

Thanks for the video! If you still have that work table, screw some cheap triangular plywood gussets into the legs so it won't wobble on you - not that I care, but some of that elbow grease is transferring into table wobble rather than sanding :)
Hey glad I could help!
great video !!
Hello Festool makes great tools but they are pricey. The reason I use festool sanders, saw and dust extractor is they are the best for onsite work! No dust in a customers house = happy customers! In the shop I like the feel of porter cable routers plus there cheaper. Because there cheaper I can have more of them, Because I can have more of them I can keep all the bits in a router ready to go. Nice time saver. Off the top of my head I would say I have 15+ routers. Thanks for the question!
thanks for the insight!
Great video 📹 tanks for share Good bless you 🙏.
great job!
Hi, great video! May I know what brand of adhesive do you use? Thank you.
Typically about how long does that 3/4" double fluted bit last on cutting before it has to be replaced???? Just getting into a very large corian project and looking for the best ways to mass produce clean, even cuts other than a table saw or cnc. Was trying to find something on the lines of a 1/4" diameter, 1/2" Shank Carbide straight or spiral cut bit for a plunge router. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
learned a lot, even if it wasn't a how to video.
Great solid surface installation videos Bill. I'm unlucky in my search to find moisture resistant MDF. Where do you source it? I hope it comes in 1/2 and 3/4 sheet...
nice work
Dear SIr. The machine which you cut the sink hole can cut marble and granite?
how many tubes of adhesive did you use?
Awesome !!
Thanks !!!
Hello I like to do 2 1/4 build up it is a strong edge. If I didnt have the extra material I would try to get a 1" min edge. I usualy dont save the extra anyways unless its a big piece. The minute it takes to put a few glue blocks on the straight pieces does save a few minutes lining up the edge. I never seen a grinder used, make a video of that one for me. What do use use for your white sub deck? Thanks Bill
Good job my man. Is that double flute bit? How long are those bits?
Hi is there any place one can go to see a corian under mount sink installed, in a corian counter top. Like your video, simple an easy to follow. Many Thanks Tim
What is the name for the power tool you use to cut the sink hole?, also will it work for quartz countertop, if so what kind of drill bit should I use.
No not a big deal you can put 15/16 mdf behind it. Making the build up 2 1/8 saves that extra step and adds alittle more strength. The down side is you still need to notch out the build up for a dishwasher so you can have mdf to screw in to. thanks
Hello no I didnt clamp the guide down it has rubber strips on the bottom so I just hold it down. There was no starter hole on the sink cut out I just plunged in with my 1/2 inch straight bit 1/4 deep and ran around! thanks for the question!
Do you use the same router for edging as you do your plunge cuts?
Hi do you have video where you show how to join two surfaces together at 90 corner to obtain an L shpaed counter. tnx in advance and a very good video. anybody with basic understanding of tools usage can follow this clearly.
Nice video, I was planning to make my own Kitchen marble. How may I know the ingredients used in detail? Thanks.
What type of epoxy do you use with the clips? Thanks.
Hello it is Cerabond clear 100% silicone sealant same as the home stores carry, I just get it by the case of 24 wholesale
Hello its a festool blade #496309-A I dont know if it will fit on a normal skil saw. I only use them on my festool TS 55 EQ
I used those clips. When I tightened them down (after a few days) under the sink, some of them snapped off out of the two part epoxy. I went back to the drill in grommets to anchor the sink. I suppose I might have had some bad epoxy.

Hi Bill. I was wondering what kind of bits do you use for your router for Corian . Do we need just carbide bits or is it a special type of carbide bits for Corian .and at last where do you buy them.ty.Francois
Did you put a slight round over on your sink cutout. And top and bottom just top or just sanded only. Thanks.
You don’t triple up the solid surface material (to 1-1/2”) for full thickness around the sink?
where do you get those clips?
You made the initial cut w/the festool saw, was your guide clamped down? Also, when you began to cut the sink out with the router, did you have an initial hole cut out with a paddle-bit to make it easier? It looks like you just placed the router on the edge of your template and began cutting..thanks

It’s a Festool track saw. They make a blade specifically for solid-surface: www.festoolproducts.com/festool-496309-solid-surface-laminate-blade-for-ts-55-plunge-cut-saw-48-tooth.html
That looks like a wide reveal around the sink. You using the manufacturers template or making your own?
Thank you for the tip...looks like Chemical concepts has the best prices for larger quantities. They have the round versus the ones you use. Any reason to use one over the other?

Sorry, no clips along the front edge. Gravity and the disposal will make that double bowl fold like a playing card. I fix this all the time.

I just recently had one of these counter tops installed. Yesterday i noticed on the front face of the counter top a huge crack about a foot long. I noticed that it looks about a quarter of an inch down from the top is this because when building the front the pieces were not properly put together?

Sounds like it. Total absence of adhesive, or protective/peel coat used on some material was left on edge material.

So the weight of the sink is only supported by epoxy?

It is unfortunate that you did not make your sink cutout a little smaller so the countertop would overhang the sink. The visible sink edge is just another place to clean which defeats the purpose of an undermount sink.
