Hi, anyone with experience in kitset kitchens out there? I've put my units together, had the benchtops cut, and have a couple of ends to apply clashing strips to. Problem is they're deeper than the benchtop and I have no idea how to go about cutting them to the same size. Looking at the benchtops the top coating is obviously heat attached so that the edges actually bend and go under the top a little. I haven't any way of doing that, so, any suggestions?

Hi ya. I guess you've got your clashing on by now. If you still need help let me know.

Hi Gracey, If you go to Chris Bennett's Q&A page and send him your question he should have an answer for you within about a week.

Cheers.
