Upstand

wow – great site, wish I had found

it three weeks ago! The

kitchen is nearly fitted now (got a pro in to do the worktop).

I am about to fit the

upstand (MFI’s hygena stuff, approx 5cm high, 2cm deep, 2m long looks like MDF with a laminate face).
However there is a

bulge in the wall which means even with the bendiness of the upstand it leaves a gap at one point (? max 2 or 3mm and tailing

off after 10 inches or so).

Do I scribe the upstand – tricky as the bulge is about 1m long in a 4m run and I don’t

want a ragged edge!

Do I attempt to rip chunks off the wall – again tricky as its the window and I believe it has metal

corner strips in the plaster.

Do I leave it alone – unhygenic gap?

Do I fill it? I can’t find a good colour

match so use decorators caulc and paint as the wall? Does it need to be waterproof?

I was going to use “no more nails”

- do I stick the odd screw through to pull it tighter to the wall past the bulge?

And finally (phew!) do I silcon seal

the bottom edge only or the top and bottom? I assume the seal happens after it is fixed .

and an extra – do I “no more

nails” glue it to the wall and work top or just one of them?

Oh gosh – do you get the impression I haven’t got a

clue?

Thanks for bothering to even read this far!
