If your wall is very wavy and it’s necessary to form the cabinet side scribe (filler) to the contour of the wall, do this before cutting the filler to width. Once you have made the filler piece fit, having less than an eight of an inch gap, screw it to the cabinet side. Once you have installed your prefab cabinets level and plumb, hold your filler piece up to the wall and determine if you can just cut it with a table saw or if you will have to do some custom sanding, using a belt sander with 40 grit sand paper.

Generally, when installing kitchen or vanity cupboards that have been pre-fabricated, the top scribes or battens are shipped separately in eight foot lengths. If you have purchased your cabinets from Home Depot or Lowe’s, you’re going to have to cut your own fillers and toe boards to length and width.
