Tips for Installing End Panels:
Surface Prep: Make sure the end panel and cabinet surfaces are free of dust/dirt
before applying.
Cutting: Use a router to cut the end panel to fit the cabinet height/width; then
hand file or use 150 grit sand paper to make a smooth edge. If the countertop is
already installed then you’ll need to cut the end panel to the correct size using a
table or circular saw. Use a straight edge and scoring the panel with a utility knife
before cutting. Otherwise, install the entire end panel and cut it to fit once
installed.
Adhering: Use contact cement on both the end panel and the surface you’re
applying the end panel to. If you’re using construction adhesive or wood glue
allow for proper curing time (see manufacturer’s recommendation) before
cutting or trimming the end panels.
Finishing: Make sure the panel is flush the cabinet front and bottom. Apply
pressure using a 4-5” J- Roller/Wood Scraper. (Note: Start in the middle of the
panel and apply pressure in the direction of the grain.)
