Q: I have laminate counter tops in my kitchen that have a triple bullnose edge. They also stick out pretty far from the counter. Is it possible to cut the bullnose off and put a more modern straight edge on the countertops?
A:Â It might be possible to cut it off and grind it down, but it could be hard to do that and it could create quite a mess in the kitchen. It also depends to some extent on what kind of cabinet you have under the laminate. You would need to have someone who is an expert in laminate surfaces take a thorough look at the counter before you try doing anything like this, as this operation is not a good prospect for a successful DIY project.
