how do you cut it in order to shape and comply with countertop?

I had the very basic square countertops, so I just measured the length of the counter and measured the granite the same and cut using scissors or a straight edge razor blade...I would say the hardest part was cutting exactly right around the sinks, but instructions where included. I was very pleased with the finished result, and have had a lot of compliments on it. Hope this helps.

First, I layed the paper on the counter top (flat surface) face down, then I measured how much paper i needed to cover the surface. Then I cut off the over hang. My husband and I (it took two people) applied the paper together very slowly to prevent bubbles in the paper. It was a difficult job but it was worth it and looks great. If all else fails, you can watch the youtube video.

Matt, some people use scissors. I prefer using a straight edge and a razor knife. Be sure to place a cutting board under the vacuum roll where it is to be cut.Hope this helped. Bill

take it to your hardware store. they can cut it for you. My mom did that and it was perfect for her!

I fabricated a 'sharps container' for mine. Bought a can of evaporated milk and drilled 4 holes in the bottom, cut an inch or so long slot in the top with a Dremel, just big enough to slip a blade into. After the milk was emptied I cleaned it in dishwater and let it air dry for a few days. Scuff it with some scotchbrite and get a nice stainless look, then tuck it into the bathroom cabinet. I shave 3 to 4 times a week and can keep a can for nearly a year before I toss the whole thing and make a new!

You can use regular scissors to cut it. Even children's craft scissors will work.

Watch the video on instant granite on YouTube, it shows corners well. I had round corners and was a little harder, I just cut and pulled down where ever it looked like it needed to fold over it's self. It is not as hard as it sounds, once you get started it will kind of sort it's self out.

Use a 41/2 inch grinder with a metal cutting blade. Cut the outer shell separately and then the inner shell if needed to give the desired length. Use masking tape on outer shell to mark ur cut line

Use a clean kitchen towel to hold whatever you are cutting. Professional chefs do this all the time with graters and mandolines.

I used a box cutter, just mark your line with a pencil and measure. You can even use scissors. I used the utility knife(box cutter) for a cleaner line. Use the corners you trim off to make the new corners. I had multiple sized shelves, so I bought planning on trimming. The trimmings make nice shelf liners for your cabinets(say under your glasses). For the long guide referred to in a previous answer, use one of your sheets to mark your line once you measure what you need cut.

If you are doing it I world recommend putting a coat or two on the vertical edge first with a sponge brush and let it set up. When you do the counters make sure you flood the top so it can drop over the edge. Smooth the vertical edge with a brush or flat edge. When it has set up to a little past the tacky stage you can take a straight razor and cut off any drips on the underside of the edge. Hope that helps.

The countertop surface is one seamless piece. The double-thick edging along the front and sides is a separate slab that is joined together with the top piece. Thank you for your inquiry!Kitchen Bath Collection310-808-9600

It is more on the round side. It has a decent bevel that makes it a little more difficult to finish the counter top to it. The counter top guy just needs to take his time cutting to get a perfect fit.

I cut mine with scissors. It is solid plastic but still a little flexible and not really thick. A utility knife should work, too.

Use a utility knife and go around the edges of the knock out piece you want then use a plier to take it out bending it back and forth. I didn't know how to do it either and had a tile guy show me how to do it. ; ) It works perfectly that way.

The one I bought came with a platform that has instructions printed on it. I did buy cutting plates and a magnetic platform to use with this item

fine zesting and grating. Slide the cover on upside-down and grate away. Doing that keeps the gratings from flying all over the counter. ;)
