Mark Kettle 1 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Worktop protector made from a large cardboard bike box. I used two cardboard sheets thick as the worktop protector and to keep it in place I edged the sides underneath with some 30 mm wide x 4 strips on three sides to retain it on the end of the kitchen worktop. Top protector size ended up as 1440 mm X 970mm and is 15 mm thick, should stop me scoring the worktop, when not in use I can store it in the shed / garage.

Don Fry Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Why not spend a very few quid, and make a Sundeala board. You will then never mark the worksurface. Might I suggest you spend a few quid more on roses, chocolates, cruise ships, diamonds. She is worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Kettle 1 Posted March 7, 2017 Author Share Posted March 7, 2017 Ken I know and it's surprising how when you stand on it and get glued to the 'spot of super glue on the floor' - even if you bought it from Poundland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Fry Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 My near disaster was opening an e Bay parcel. The fool of a seller did not envisage that the largish super thin superglue bottles should have been individually packed.. And, getting a broken bottle out, over the dining room table, a magnificent surface, resulted in my best whippit, hoping for a treat, being under the stream of debris. Much hurrying later, I had superglue setting in the sink, which took months to remove. But the whippit was in pain, so I dumped him in a load of washing up water across his back. When SWMBO walked in. Took a long time to talk my way out. It was the onions hanging off his back what done me. Me and that dog were best mates.
