Nice Work, Alpin White is very very difficult to glue perfeclty together. I never sand the hardend glue off i have just not the time to start with 60 grind and then working my way back up to 600. The solution for this problem is so easy... Take a cheap makita router, put 2 pieces of hardwood (1cm height) under the router table. You can adjust the height from the planer close over the surface. Done
I gotta get me some of those leveling clamps. They don’t require a compressor pump constantly running. What brand/ model are those? Also, the router/ straight edge system, is that a festool? In the name of sharing information, I always set up things so that I’m taking off 1/16” of each piece as opposed to 1/8”. Makes the router pass a lot smoother.
I'll get back to you on the clamps. Yea it's all festool router track system etc. I take off 1/8" because on this product the factory edge is quite beveled. With a straight edge it comes into the sheet just under 1/8" so doing it this way allows less sanding and planes the sheets together better from what I've come across. To each they're own though. Thanks for the comment 👍
These videos are great, very detailed and inspiring. Whats the price of the Hi-Macs sheets? I assume its 4x8feet (1/2 inch thick), something standard like that?
A full sheet is 12' x 30". They're designed that way to accommodate pretty much any counter top size. They also can vary in cost greatly on colors and patterns.. anywhere from say $250 to close to $1000.Thanks for the comment and if you enjoyed the content dont forget to like and subscribe thanks!!!
You can get materials in a variety of sizes most commonly would be 12' x 30" x 1/2". The price also varies greatly on color and pattern, anywhere from $250 to upwards of $1000. Thanks for the comment and if you enjoyed the video don't forget to like and subscribe thanks!!!
@@demidog4549 Yes that makes a lot of sense, more ideal dimensions for countertops. Expensive but I'm sure it's very long lasting. Thanks so much for the response, really appreciate it! And yes I'll sub!
Unless you have a contractors license it may be hard to set up an account to buy the epoxy. I can link the clamps and dispenser if you'd like but each material takes a specific epoxy color to match the solid surface.
After seaming 2 panels together, do you put a backer strip to cover the back side of the seam to keep the seam together? I’m putting 2 panels on the back shower wall, would you recommend a backer strip on the back side of the seam or no backer needed? Thanks for the info.
It's not really necessary in my opinion you'd have to router out the section on the wall for it to sit flat. Too much work for me to add marginal strength on a vertical surface. If you mirror cut and get a good fit up it's not gonna come apart.
@@wrenchswoodworks5981 they're using a straight edge to hold the router against. I use a sled system which locks the router in and guides it pushing forward thru the material.
@@demidog4549 maybe the seam you were doing was really big picky customer , theirs nothing wrong with overkill that’s not a bad thing I do tons of commercial set seams all the time depending on color you can never see my seams and I just use blocks and clamps , now what I would like to see is setting long splashes when your by yourself any tricks because if the hot melt setting up . Or building an L shape
