Installation Supplies - Common Questions

+

What is a seam setter used for?

A seam setter pulls two slab pieces together and holds them level while adhesive cures, producing a tighter, straighter seam than clamping by hand. Most models use a suction cup and screw mechanism.

+

How long does seam adhesive need to cure before moving the slab?

Most epoxy seam adhesives set enough to release the seam setter within 20 to 30 minutes, though full cure can take up to 24 hours. Check the adhesive's spec sheet, since cure time varies by brand and shop temperature.

Do I need different mounting hardware for undermount vs. drop-in sinks?

Yes. Undermount sinks mount from below using clips or epoxy, while drop-in sinks rest on a cutout lip and typically only need clips or caulk. Confirm your sink type before ordering mounting hardware.
