I am installing new formica countrtops. The previous counters were nail from the top then the laminate was placed over the plywood base. The cabinets are 3/4 ply with cross pieces every 2 to 3 feet(front to back). How would you atttach the new counter. Liquid nails or some sort of block of wood (cut down 2x4)that is attached to the cabinets side then the countertop.
Both seem to have problems in my eyes but I am not an expert by no means. The liquid nails seems to be a very minor contact surface and the screwing into the counter tops made of particle board just does seem strong to me.
any suggestos are welcome including types of screws or brackets instead of my home made L-shaped cut down 2 X4's.
