Starting from the front of the mitre, line top and tighten 1st bolt slightly. Move on the 2nd., 3rd. and 4th bolts as you even the surface of the top

1.) With top well supported use a block of wood and a hammer to finish aligning the top surface.

3. Draw backslash together using 1-6 penny box nail driven in from each side of the counter.

 

4.) Clean excess glue from the top by using a damp cloth.
