I’m ready to install a solid surface top. It has been cut to fit the area using a template. I’m being told to add a 1″ shim every 12″ on the cabinet top. Then glue the top onto the the shims.
Is the correct / necessary.
Thanks,Mike

Hey thanks for the information. Plan to use advice once finished with our own cabinets; which am almost there. Where can I obtain a reasonable distributor for solid surface material? Am trying to buy local to Lakeland, Florida 33813. Thanks for any leads. Thomas Putt, 4443 Iris Street South, Lakeland, Florida 33813.

What do you recommend for solid counter tops? I want something that does not stain, scratch and is heat resistant. There seems to be so many different kinds I’m really confused as what would be the best and most durable.
