FAQs
Does this kit work on standard wood laminate worktops?
This kit is specifically designed for solid compact laminate, which is much thinner and denser than standard wood-based worktops.
Can I use a different adhesive if I run out?
It is recommended to use the included Zipbond epoxy, as it has been tested for chemical compatibility and curing speed with these connectors.
What tools are required in addition to the kit?
You will need a biscuit jointer, a drill, and a router to prepare the worktop edges for the connectors and biscuits.
How many joins does one kit cover?
The kit contains components to complete exactly one single join.
Is the T25 bit compatible with standard drills?
Yes, the T25 bit is a standard hex-shank bit compatible with most cordless impact drivers and drills.
Troubleshooting
Joint is not closing flush
Check that the biscuits are fully seated and that the connector cavities are deep enough to allow full retraction.
Epoxy dried too quickly
Ensure the work area is prepped and tools are ready before applying the adhesive; work in smaller batches if necessary.
Connector slipping during tensioning
Verify that the Torx T25 bit is fully engaged and the hole is drilled to the correct diameter.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the join, ensure your worktop edges are factory-square. Use a biscuit jointer to create slots for the included size 20 biscuits. Drill the required cavities for the QT18.100 connectors according to the manufacturer's depth specifications. Use the provided alcohol wipes to clean the laminate edges thoroughly before applying the Zipbond epoxy. Once the connector is seated, tighten it using the included T25 bit until the gap is closed and the surfaces are flush. Post-installation, immediately wipe away any excess epoxy from the surface with the provided wipes before the resin cures.
