Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Postforming grades perform best on a clean, uniform radius; keep the substrate edge free of voids and sand the radius smooth before forming. Apply even heat along the bend line and never force a cold sheet over the radius or it will crack. Always bond a balancing backer to the underside so the countertop stays flat after the top skin shrinks in.
Postforming involves heated tooling and hot adhesive surfaces; wear heat-resistant gloves and eye protection when forming and trimming.
