Hello everyone, I am currently planning to outfit my kitchen with Ikea Metod countertops. I want to cut the countertops myself to fit the exact dimensions of my space. My question is how to proceed with cutting to achieve clean, precise cuts and, most importantly, how to reliably and permanently seal the cut edges so that the countertop remains resistant to moisture and wear. I am especially interested in which materials or sealants have proven effective, whether I should use specific tools or special adhesives, and if there is any experience with follow-up treatment or maintenance necessary. Are there any tips to avoid mistakes? Thank you in advance for your expertise!

For sealing, I recommend a combination of edge lacquer plus a thin layer of wood glue on the cut edge, which is then painted over with lacquer.That sounds like a sensible tip. I was just about to cut my countertops and was unsure about sealing. I was concerned that I might make small mistakes and damage the edges. The idea of using wood glue as a primer will help me feel more confident. Thanks to everyone who shares their advice so thoroughly here; it really puts me at ease!
