Product Information
Full details
The Wilsonart Fantasy Granite edging strip is an essential finishing component for homeowners and contractors looking to seal the raw edges of Fantasy Granite worktops. It provides a seamless, moisture-resistant barrier that protects the core of your countertop from debris and water ingress, ensuring a durable and professional-grade finish. While it is highly effective at maintaining hygiene and aesthetics, users must ensure precise measurement and proper adhesive application to avoid visible seams or edge lifting.

FAQs
Is this edging strip heat resistant?
Yes, it is designed to withstand normal kitchen temperatures, though it should not be placed in direct contact with hot cookware.
Can I use this on a curved worktop edge?
No, this strip is rigid and intended for straight, flat edges. Attempting to bend it will cause the material to crack or lose adhesion.
What glue is best for this edging?
A professional-grade, fast-acting contact adhesive is recommended for the most durable and long-lasting bond.
Does this come with adhesive pre-applied?
No, this is a raw edging strip that requires a separate application of contact adhesive.
How do I ensure a seamless look?
Ensure the edge of the worktop is perfectly square and smooth before application; any bumps or gaps on the raw edge will show through the strip.
Troubleshooting
Edging strip lifting at the corners
Re-apply a small amount of contact adhesive, press firmly with a clamp or heavy object for 24 hours, and wipe away any excess glue immediately.
Visible white glue line
Use a specialized edge-sealing pen or a permanent marker that matches the Fantasy Granite color palette to carefully touch up the seam.
Edging is not flush with the top surface
Carefully use a fine-grade file to slowly shave down the excess laminate until it sits perfectly flush with the top surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the worktop edge is sanded smooth and free of dust before application. Apply adhesive to both the back of the edging strip and the raw edge of the worktop. Allow the adhesive to become 'tacky' per the manufacturer's instructions before joining the two surfaces. Trim any excess with a sharp laminate trimmer or a fine-toothed file, working toward the center of the worktop to avoid chipping the edge.
Compatibility: This product is exclusively designed for Wilsonart Fantasy Granite worktops. Using it on other brands or patterns may result in visible color differences.
Care: Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or excessive water pooling along the edge seam.
