WebSolid Surface Installation for the Homeowner, Making a Template for Your Countertop
In our series on working with solid surface countertops for the homeowner or DIY, our second of four installments is up. Today’s segment shows how to build a template that will serve as your guide to cutting your solid surface material. Many of you have asked us about working with solid surface materials, like Corian and other brand names and today’s segment on templating the project is a necessary step when building countertops.

What are your thoughts on the benefits of electronic templating?
Wow, as soon as someone sends me a demo unit, I am sure I would love it. I have used many of the measuring devices available for the professional market, but never one intended for templates. I think in the hands of a professional, electronic devices are worthwhile investments. I really like the technology that allows the units to send measurements directly into software. In a few weeks I will be traveling to see new products for 2011 and I will see if I can get my hands on a device intended for templates. But before investing money in a specific model, I would try a demo version to see if the tool met your needs and if it could pay for itself quickly.
