Ripping To Width

TOOLS YOU'LL NEED:

  • Pencil
  • Tape Measure
  • Level
  • J Roller
  • Jig Saw

Step 1: Measure & Mark

Use a tape (or by reference) to determine the width of the plank you need to rip.

Step 2: Draw Your Rip Line

Using any kind of straightedge or level, draw your rip line from the mark you made when measuring.

Step 3: Rip Stikwood

Depending on the length of your piece , Stikwood can be ripped to width with either a jigsaw, utility knife, or a table saw. Start your rip from the mark and follow the line.

Step 4: Dry Fit and Install

Before installing your ripped piece, dry fit the Stikwood into place. Dry fit means assembling the piece(s) of a project to check their fit before application. If the piece fits, remove the adhesive strips and install. Secure your piece into place with the J roller.
