4. Applying SoluMastik.
Apply the SoluMastik on the recessed area of the cut-out.
5. Fixing the sink to the worktop.
After applying the resin, fix the clamps or jacks to tighten
the sink to the worktop. They must be tightened until as
much resin as possible is expelled, since any remaining
resin could be visible. This type of gluing is quite similar to
when you want to do 2+2 or a mitre-gluing and you want
to hide the joint between two pieces.
6. Cleaning the parts to be bonded.
Clean a 10cm strip around the top of the outside wall of
the sink and the worktop with alcohol or solvent.
7. Filling the gap between pieces.
Fill the gap between the sink and the worktop with resin.
If this gap is not filled, the worktop could break around
the edge of the gap. A fibreglass mesh must also be
placed all around the perimeter to reinforce the joint
between the sink and the worktop. ATTENTION: Do not
cover the overflow hole with the fibreglass mesh.

8. Reinforcing the worktop.
In order to prevent breakage of the worktop and to
reinforce it, fix a wooden baton to the wall, the distance
between the units, on the underside of the worktop.
9. Bevelling.
Once the sink is bonded to the worktop, you must polish
the remaining edge until the entire outline is bevelled.
This way, the lower part of the edge will fit the sink joint.
