Working in Granite

Posted by MAKMU ta On Monday, November 21, 2011 No comments

It's too risky to cut the large tiles with tile saw; so buy a 4" skill saw for tile from HD (Workforce THD250). The saw will work great, with really clean cuts.
Cut the sink pieces 1/4 large and then re-cut them on the tile table saw, to get them exact.


Use the polyurethane glue to install the granite; install a fair amount of tile and lots of brick and stone (used to work in masonry).
Bond the granite directly to the wood, so you don't have to add 1/2 thickness needed for backer-board. Also, the poly will bond the granite directly to the under-mount sink and give good water proof seal.
Finally, the poly has an "open time" of at least an hour, giving you chance to make sure everything is exactly right.

Bond the edging to the tile before install in order to get them exactly right and not depend on the face of the cabinet to align them.
