Here in California that is the only way it is done. There is a bit of 3cm, but not much. They always use the 5/8" plywood. We have never had any expansion and contraction problem, but then again, the weather never changes.

Here is an update on the remove and reinstall job. The previous pictures seemed to have not made the transititon from the old site format. This is the top that was broken in removal sitting on the cainets ready for repair and reinstallation. My level serves as a clamping rail for adhering the front edge. Always use a barrier between your painted level and the methelmethacrylate adhesive or you'll get contamination as I did. Fortunately, I dug and washed it out. The final repair in the most difficult light. Final close-up. I refilled the crack with my light kit and hit it with Dani's Estone Polish. Not bad for a solid surface guy. Joe

its one of the more fragile stones to work with and install if you started doing stone work and the first job you ever did was delicatus you would probably quit.. it is an acceptable repair its better than a lot of what i have seen out there good work
