any tips on how to make my formica edges seamless?
I don't want to buy this: http://www.formica.com/en/us/products/idealedge-real
I want to know if there is a way of achieving the same results using a heat gun or something
those fucking brown edges suck!
>paint them
looks cheap as fuck
It must be a very new product. I'd assume very specialized manufacturing. I just had my kitchen redone and didn't hear about this anywhere. I doubt you could do it seamless. That is also probably digitally touched up and doesn't show it 5 years later in a kitchen. My research for diy counters advice is butcher block followed by granite, followed by huge tiles mimicking a stone surface with very little grout and lastly Formica. Anything but off the shelf Formica is just to close cost wise to something much better. I have seen a few very good tiled countertops that seemed really nice for how much they save. Especially since 24 inch tiles now are pretty common. That's basically the same depth as a countertop. Just make sure the pattern isn't flowy so you don't have huge differences. Quartz countertops are the shit. I have Cambria in my bathroom and some German stuff in my kitchen. They tend to cost about 50 a foot though installed by someone else and normally a sink included. If you do a higher end tile plus backing it's maybe 10 to 15 a foot if you do it yourself.

Nope. Postform counters are limited in what you can do with them, and trying to mod them with a heat gun will (guaranteed) fuck them up big time...
Could you not just fill out with biege caulk?

Replace that crap with butcher block. You can't get Formica portformed to weird angles like that.
