I just fitted an IKEA kitchen, and ran into a problem. IKEA units are deeper than normal ones; 600mm to front of doors. I didn’t use IKEA worktops,

but instead bought standard 600mm deep ones.
To get an overhang I was forced to take the splashback tiling behind the worktop, to push the worktop forward.

Now I have a variable gap between worktop and splashback, from 2mm to 6mm, that I need to fill as neatly as possible.

I thought of using that plastic stuff for edging tiles, but it has a convex profile, and I would (ideally) like a concave profile.

Any of you experts got an suggestions for the best way to deal with this bodge?

Sean,

It seems you only have one option here silicone sealant will offer you the concave finish you require. Fortunately I have just received details of an easier method of application

using an innovative tool.
The main drawback of using silicone is the art of achieving a good finish and this innovation may assist you.

I’ve included details in a private message to you.

Good luck and let us know how it performs.
