Ebony Star Formica Sheets - Directions

Safety First:

  • The edges of Ebony Star Formica can be SHARP! BE CAREFUL!
  • If you user power tools, always read the directions.
  • Use dust collection. Dust is bad for your lungs.
  • When using sharp hand tools, always apply pressure away from your body. Don't cut towards yourself!
  • Wear safety glasses. Formica is especially prone to shattering.
Assembly:
  • Apply contact cement to both the sheet and the botton of the rocker box according to the cement directions.
  • I've heard of some people using Gorilla Glue instead, but haven't tried it myself.
  • Apply carefully. Be sure to leave extra all around.
  • After it has had a few minutes to set, trim the edges.
  • You can also trim it flush with the sides of the box with a utility knife or a flush cut router bit. Remember to cut away from your body, arms and hands.
  • REMEMBER to ease the edges with sandpaper. Formica edges can be razor sharp.
