We use the same tape, I’ve had problems with Formica before. I just wipe the piece with alcohol (where the tape will contact), and any other surfaces that will contact the piece before the tape is adhered. Formica always seems more powdery than most SS brands.
Not a problem, I’m just looking at different locations to relocate within the next 3 years or so, or longer. Trying to learn as much as possible before I leave. PA just isn’t ideal for me.
Very nice! Avonite definitely is frustrating to work with, but you still aced it from what I can see.
Yeah, here in PA, we put maple syrup in our adhesive to kill the smell. We call it our “3-Part Epoxy”
Gene, thanks for the uplifting words! It gets monotonous driving a box truck for an accumulative 4-8 hours a day, but I guess I’m just learning the land too, haha.
And David, I blame technology… mainly reality TV shows
Being a given young guy, I get what y’all are saying, too. It almost frustrates me to see others in my age range (typically peers) without a goal or plan of action for their extended future. How can you stay motivated, how can you want to wake up in the morning, without having that goal – or certain something – to look forward to?
Many of us have trouble committing to any job because of desires, rather than necessity. Some will wise up and others might have to learn the hard way.It might sound kinda cheesy, but I still wake up in the morning ready for a challenge, whether I get one or not. I install full time with a side of tear-outs and some on-site repairs, getting 6-16 hours a day. I’d like to think I’m experienced, but I know there’s a million different situations that I could run into. If I haven’t done it, here’s my chance to prove that I can. If I’ve done it before, I’ll just have more practice at it.
If you wanted to preserve the sink, you could flip the top on its backside and chisel the adhesive away and, once you can find a decent opening around the sink, work your way around it with a putty knife.
Typically I do cut-outs on-site, but for a coved job we have had the recepticles cut out in the shop.
Hahahaha! Thank the Lord I’m no plumber!
Had a successful 13 hour day today though, I got a chance to use John C.’s method for corner cabinets and it was spot-on. One customer was so happy with us that he asked for a source to give positive feedback, and our second customer was so pleased that she tipped us each $20! Feels good to serve people the right way.
