Carrying on with my Kitchen questions, I prefer the look of under mounted sinks, even though they costs a lot more, but I was just wondering, what do you do about a draining board?

Using a jig like this, you router out grooves.

Undermounted sinks are only suitable for use with either a solid wood (properly sealed) or stone (either natural or manmade) worktop, if you are thinking of having a laminate dont even got there after a couple of months your worktop will swell up like weetabix, if you re going for the above then as said they can be cut into the worktop.

That wouldn't work on a laminate though would it?

laminates and undeslung sinks are a big nono you cant seal the worktop around the cut out well enough to keep water out, dont do it.....
