new stove problem

KMS Woodworks on Jan 26, 2013I'd pull the range back out and smooth the edges with a belt or orbital sander. Once smooth you could cover them with a thin strip of laminate that matches the counter. If you can not find the same color some paint would help mask it. It is important to get that raw particle board edge sealed. If moisture gets into the core fibers it can lead to swelling and buckle to the top.Helpful Reply

Pat G on Mar 05, 2015We used a strip of quarter (1/4 of a cirlcle) molding to cover the gap and ragged edges. Round the end that faces out. Sealed it with polurathane finish, or whatever you have on hand. You have probaly done something by now, but this would be an option for others with the same problem.Helpful Reply
