Artificial acrylic stone comes in the form of standard sheets of 760x3660 mm in size of different thickness. This is quite enough.
Moisture-resistant surface, which is resistant to mechanical damage and can withstand the temperature of about 180 degrees. For the kitchen it is suitable perfectly.
To make a tabletop of stone, first need to collect the framework that will be the basis. Since the artificial stone does not have enough thickness for the table top, and it itself is very much better, so plywood is used. On the perimeter of the countertops form a frame, for this cut by strips to the phaneer 7 centimeters width. Made in advance layout used when assembling. If a cheaper material, the thickness of which is 3 mm, for it, the plywood base is better solid, because due to the shortage of strength in the center it will be fed. With the help of any glue of the two-component, you can connect artificial stone and the basis. It may be epoxy resin, which glues a tree very well and acrylic.
A small layer of glue is covered by the overall surface of the substrate. You need to use a spatula for a better distribution. The glue is applied to the acrylic sheet from the bottom side only to the sections that will be in contact with the base. And only after that, both components of the countertops are connected and then tightly pressed. Tip: If the baseball base is used throughout the area, then the applied sheet of stone should begin to press on the parties from the center and move so to one edge at the beginning, and then to another. After completely dry adhesive, the ends of the countertops should be counted.
Usually, for this, the milling manual machine is used, but in the conditions of home, you can use large sandy paper. Of course, it turns out not very carefully and quite a long time, if you do all this manually. But still later the end will be bold with the tabletop tone. Cutting strips from the remains of a sheet of stone width by 2 mm more than the worktop blank. Next, the strips and ends of the countertops are cleaned from dust and degrease. The glue is applied to the base evenly and stick the strip to the end. Use clamps for a more dense fit.
