Marking a sink cutout line on a laminate countertop with a pencil and straightedge outdoors

Project scope

What we did

Template the basin and mark the cut line
Score the surface to prevent chip-out
Cut the opening and ease the edges
Dry-fit the sink and check the reveal
Seal the cut edge and set the basin

The job

A new drop-in basin going into an existing counter, where one chipped edge is permanent. We templated the basin, scored the surface along the cut line to stop chip-out, cut the opening, eased the edges, then dry-fit the sink to confirm an even reveal before sealing and setting it.

The problem

A new drop-in sink that needed an opening cut into an existing counter without chipping the laminate face.

Our recommendation

Template and score before cutting, and always dry-fit before sealing — a 10-minute check that prevents an unfixable counter.

The result

A clean, chip-free opening with the sink sitting flat and an even reveal on all four sides.
