A craft knife was used to accurately mark the second top and the two bases.

It makes cleaning up so much easier. Note that the shelf in the first (right-hand) cupboard is the full depth of 330mm, but that in the second is 290mm (330  32  3.2 = 294.8mm) deep, to allow for the fact that the backing is recessed into the cupboard unit by 36.2mm (32mm beading plus the 3.2mm thickness of the backing itself). The shelves in both cases are positioned at the midpoint of each cupboard and rest on lengths of 10mm x 19mm bevelled beading cut to length at each attached with 2 x 30mm screws.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lion-test-sites.co.za\/mica-new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/MICA-RECYCLED-SHELVES-16.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lion-test-sites.co.za\/mica-new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/MICA-RECYCLED-SHELVES-16-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>These materials are available at Selected Mica Stores.
