yes you MAY .. in fact feel free to ask away!!!

Yep a contact adhesive is best!, but remember, that the actual worktop will need more than one application before you can apply the end piece, so the first coat on the WT soaks in and seals the end!!
as for the actual " doing" of the job, contact adhesive is like its name suggests .. contact adhesive is applied to both parts required to be stuck together! ( remember the 2 coats upon the end of Worktops!!)  and when the adhesive you have applied to both ends get "tacky" carefully apply the end piece to the worktop!, and press OUT froim the centre to each end!!, if you need too you can always apply a little masking /low tack tape over from top of WT to below, just to give it that support while final drying takes place!!

and as for trimming up of the end piece, i have a little gadget for doing mine, as well as final smoothing with 400g wet/dry!!!

link to gadget....http://www.rutlands.co.uk/cgi-bin/psProdSrch.cgi. any of the top three!!, i do have a power trimmer for when doing larger porjects!! but for what youi want the hand held jobbies would do!! so would a very carefull and NEW stanley blade!!!

hope this helps!!

That not Fully true!!!! only, well partly so!!  

Have you noticed how many views that topic got? nearly 3 times the average.

As mentioned there are laminate trimmers available, like small routers, in fact they are small routers . Anyway they can damage the worktop if not used properly, especially a shinny black one.

It is possible to put a spare piece of laminate on the worktop to protect it, run a Stanley knife along the back face of the edging and then you can snap off the excess. You need to support the edging otherwise you can end up pushing it off.

You would need to try this on a sample first though, to see if you have the knack and that the laminate will snap cleanly.

"BUTT" you should not use a laminate trimmer there though BIK038!!!

no wonder it made your eye water!!!

That is not true.

I made 6 post, 3 contained some reference to the device Big_all originally mentioned. The other 3 were either extremely informative or hilariously funny with regard to varnish
