3. GENERAL PROCESSING GUIDELINES<br />
3.4 STRAIGHT WORKTOP JOINTS<br />
• Cut the panel butt joints exactly to size.<br />
• Always use worktop connectors to adhere several worktops together.<br />
• Cut a 3 <strong>mm</strong> thick and 12 <strong>mm</strong> deep groove directly below the <strong>Varicor</strong> ®<br />
3 <strong>mm</strong> coating to fix the bonding of the two worktops to be joined.<br />
A continuous match splint, 20 x 3 <strong>mm</strong> is glued into this groove.<br />
• Clean the glued surface with sanding paper, remove dust with<br />
compressed air.<br />
• Apply PVAC glue to the edge of the chipboard and insert it into the<br />
grooves.<br />
• Apply sealant, e.g. Helmipur SH 100 (*) or similar sealant on the<br />
<strong>Varicor</strong> ® 3 <strong>mm</strong> edge as well as on the upper side of the match splint<br />
and insert in into the groove.<br />
• Join the panels manually and fix them with the worktop connectors.<br />
• Remove overflowing sealant.<br />
• Please observe the bonding instructions enclosed with the bonding<br />
agent.<br />
3.5 CORNER JOINTS IN WORKTOPS<br />
• To fix the corner joint: Cut a 3 <strong>mm</strong> thick and 12 <strong>mm</strong> deep groove<br />
directly below the <strong>Varicor</strong> ® 3 <strong>mm</strong> coating near the straight edge<br />
of both worktops.<br />
• A continuous match splint, 20 x 3 <strong>mm</strong>, is glued into this groove.<br />
• Mill a recess <strong>for</strong> worktop connectors<br />
• Clean the glued surface with sanding paper, remove dust with<br />
compressed air.<br />
• Apply PVAC glue to the edge of the chipboards and into the grooves.<br />
• Join the panels manually and fix them with the worktop connectors.<br />
• Remove overflowing sealant.<br />
3.6 CUTOUTS<br />
Please observe the following when making cutouts:<br />
• Minimum distance of 80 <strong>mm</strong> between two cutouts (Fig. 9).<br />
• Minimum distance of 50 <strong>mm</strong> between a cutout <strong>for</strong> moulded pieces<br />
and the back wall and/or chamfer with back splash (Fig. 10).<br />
• Minimum distance of 40 <strong>mm</strong> between a moulded piece or a cutout<br />
and the front worktop edge (Fig. 10).<br />
• The distance between an adhesive joint and a cutout should be at<br />
least 100 <strong>mm</strong> (Fig. 11).<br />
• All of the cutouts must be milled, do not use a jig saw.<br />
• Radii in corners and cutouts must be at least 10 <strong>mm</strong>.<br />
• In areas with strong temperature impacts, e.g. hot top, make radii<br />
at least 15 <strong>mm</strong> or larger.<br />
Please observe the separate instructions <strong>for</strong> the hot top installation.<br />
