Question: What are the best products for filling the seams after assembling acrylic countertops?
Answer: Reactive acrylic adhesives are the product of choice for this application; they cure rapidly with no solvent emissions or byproducts. Reactive acrylic adhesives vary from surface-activated flexible adhesives to rigid two-component adhesives. The rigid adhesives are suitable for this application, and usually involve a thickened adhesive based on methyl methacrylate monomer activated with a peroxide initiator. Systems are available with varying cure times and in different colors.
