The Gem-loc solid-surface edge allows installers to combine a laminate countertop and a solid surface edge while eliminating the black line. Applied like a beveled edge, Gem-loc is faired to the deck after it is installed slightly higher than the laminate surface, creating a smooth look. Standard wood glue keeps the edge secure, the company says. 877-436-3343. www.loticorp.com.
