Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing a shaped counter top edge comprising: heating a sheet laminate to an elevated temperature; bending the sheet laminate to a formed laminate; applying adhesive to at least one of the formed laminate or a substrate comprising a substrate upper face, a substrate lower face, and a substrate shaped edge positioned between the substrate upper face and the substrate lower face; positioning the formed laminate proximate to the substrate upper face, the substrate lower face, and the substrate shaped edge; clamping the formed laminate to the substrate upper face, the substrate lower face, and the substrate shaped edge of the substrate with a clamping press assembly until the adhesive cures to form a substrate/laminate assembly from the formed laminate and the substrate, wherein the clamping press assembly comprises: cutting a portion of the substrate/laminate assembly to form the shaped counter top edge.
