So what exactly is Caulk? According to Wikipedia, caulking is described as several different processes to seal joints or seams in various structures and certain types of piping. The oldest form of caulking is used to make the seams in wooden boats or ships watertight, by driving fibrous materials into the wedge-shaped seams between planks. A related process was formerly employed to join sections of cast iron sewerage pipe.
When it comes to CabinetParts.com caulk provided in our Cabinet Hardware inventory is used for installing or repairing countertops. We sell Color Matching Laminate Caulk by three great companies: Wilsonart, Seamfil, and Colorflex. Below is a review of all three:

Soss by CabinetParts.com
At Cabinetparts.com we partner with several manufacturers that offer awesome Cabinet Hardware. Today we are giving you insight into a company that’s been around for more than 100 years.
Soss History
During the past century, the Soss name has become the worldwide standard for invisible hinges, which began in 1903. A young Rumanian immigrant tripped and fell over a cargo hatch during an ocean voyage. By the time the ship sailed into New York harbor, this young immigrant by the name of Joe Soss had built a prototype for the world's first invisible hinge.
He soon obtained a patent for his invention and established Soss manufacturing in New York. To produce the hinges, Soss also developed the first die casting machine sold in North America. Business boomed as Soss provided invisible hinges for popular companies such as Singer Sewing Machines, Otis Elevator, Burroughs Adding Machines, and Player Pianos became early customers. In addition the popular car maker Henry Ford used the hinge on the glove boxes of his early cars.
The invisible or sometimes called the concealed hinge also became widely used on jewelry cases, humidors, bookshelves that swing open to reveal hidden rooms, and even cargo holds on ship decks.
Eventually the clientele for Soss included notable establishments from the White House to Disneyland. Over the years Soss grew into the leading invisible hinge provider for commercial buildings, government agencies, interior designers, engineers, and for personal households. The Soss Company has stood solidly behind its products, and that includes the millions of hinges sold during the past century," said Neil Marko, great-grandson of the Joe Soss.
Marko produces and distributes SOSS Invisible Hinges through his company, Universal Industrial Products, Incorporated.
Soss Today & the Benefits
Soss says you can create superlative environments unencumbered with unsightly hardware. The benefits of using invisible hinges are to generate clean, contemporary planes, blend smooth, flush surfaces and shape unsurpassed beauty.
According to them, their hinge is so exceptionally constructed, firmly anchored in a deep, full mortise, it can hold a 500-pound door. With strength there's security and peace of mind because the invisible hinge can't be seen or cannot be tampered with.
Invisible Hinges helps create an environment that is both unique and beautiful. A vast range of sizes and styles provide architects, cabinet makers, builders and manufacturers with multi-functional versatility and adaptability.

Why is Susan so Lazy?
When most people hear the name Lazy Susan they think of an inactive and sluggish person by the name of Susan. WRONG! Lazy Susan is actually a clever name for a particular type of hardware. Some are designed for dinner table tops but in the case of CabinetParts.com it’s a part of our Kitchen Storage and Cabinet Hardware collections.
So what exactly is a Lazy Susan?
A Lazy Susan is a rotating circular tray to assist in the effortless organization of your kitchen cabinets. You no longer have to clamor and grumble trying to fetch that pot that’s lodged in the back of your kitchen cabinet.
There is a rich and interesting history on the origin of the term Lazy Susan. The term first appeared in print in the popular magazine Vanity Fair in 1917. It was an ad for a "Revolving Server or Lazy Susan", although the hardware existed since the 18th century.
Before the word Lazy Susan was used, these devices were known humorously as “dumbwaiters”, which in modern terms is a mini elevator that transports food.
There is no particular evidence as to who the term Susan refers too. But it is said that “Susan” was a half-mandarin mistress of an English doctor who brought this device with her from her Far East homeland and the term was built from her name.
Nonetheless that’s an old wives tale and there is no historical fact to prove the origin of the term.
Lazy Susans are typically installed in corner cabinets on which the shelves are mounted on a vertical axle where the items are retrieved by pushing on the shelves to turn them.
When closed, this type of Lazy Susan appears to be two normal cabinets at right angles to each other. When pushed on, the cabinet 'doors' reveal the shelves, which are circular except for the ninety degree cut-out where the doors are mounted. Nifty little things aren’t they?
At CabinetParts.com, we have put together a product selection of Lazy Susans that are revered as the best in the industry. Our selection stands for exceptional quality and unfaltering durability.
Our inventory includes all types such as D-Shape, Full Circle, Half Moon, Kidney and Pie-Cut designs to accommodate any cabinet. We also have an abundance of material choices such as wood, polymer and chrome to accommodate any cabinet style and cabinet size.
