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 />
