  • You might not even need them, it’s more just an option if the unit wiggles around too much for your liking after dropping it in.

    Definitely don’t use screws or nails! Glue should be fine but you might need a method to hold them in place while it dries. Masking tape would probably do the job just fine; in fact, you could probably skip the glue and just tape the blocks into the gap from underneath the countertop. The latter case would definitely require careful inspection of the cooktop to make sure you’re not covering up anything important.

    The idea with the blocks/shims isn’t to hold up the cooktop structurally, just to keep it from sliding side to side (and only if you need them, it might be perfectly fine without). The weight should still be primarily on the granite itself in all cases.
