However, you can also achieve a smooth, almost “seamless” seam without breaking out the polisher. The following is a technique that I developed, which we teach in our Stone Fabrication seminars:
The most important step in obtaining a smooth tight seam is to make sure you set the countertop properly. This starts with the templating stage. The cabinets need to be as level as possible so that the stone will sit flat. This allows each stone piece that you member up to be as level as possible so you don’t have to shim the seam.
