Fabrication Possibilities - Seam Preparation - HI-MACS®

HI-MACS® can be joined visually seamlessly in a few simple steps.

HI-MACS® can be fabricated visually seamlessly. Creations made of the Solid Surface material thus have the appearance of a cast work of art.
The following steps should be followed to ensure a seamless joint:

  1. When edges have been machined, sanded and cleaned, they are ready for bonding.
  2. The sheets are to be clamped together using for example screw clamps. It will be necessary to fix small blocks to the sheet using hot melt adhesive.
  3. Apply a continuous bead of adhesive along the entire part to be joined. Reinforce the length of the joint and push the sheets together so that an even bead of adhesive is forced out from the joint.
  4. Clamp the assembly.
  5. Remove the clamps as soon as the adhesive has fully cured.
  6. Remove excess cured adhesive with either a portable hand held router, set on skis or a small block planer with a sharp blade.
  7. Finish the joint by sanding it
