Hi everyone.
I've begun a tile countertop project.
For the prep work, I've already cut the plywood and backer board. I haven't yet attached the backer board on top of the plywood.
Problem is, when I rest the backer on top of the plywood, there are a few places that the two are not quite flush. (The backer doesn't overhang quite as far as the plywood it's sitting on)
I see in some books that people put a backer board strip around the perimiter to make a flush edge. However, The plywood already overhangs about 1 inch from the cabinets. With a backer strip, it will be 1 1/2 inches. With the tile, it's going to be around 2" overhang.
Is there a "thinner" way to get the edges flush before I tile? Or is 2" overhang not really a bad thing?
Thanks for your help!
