Joining Synthetic Stone’s “bullnose” to Plywood’s raw edge?
How would I join a heavy synthetic stone’s (Silestone) 30″ W x 1 1/2″ H x 1″ D “bullnose” to an exposed 1″ plywood’s raw edge, sandwiched between two built-in cabinets?

stone finish nails? ;-)
I'd ask the manufacturer what adhesives will work with the synthetic stone.
Joining Synthetic Stone's "bullnose" to Plywood's raw edge?
Thanks for responding Ralph - The fabricators/installers who installed my slab Silestone (synthetic stone) counter top were concerned the epoxy they used to join their two slabs together, would not be strong enough to hold the heavy 30" W Silestone bullnose to a verticle surface.
Oh, it's vertical?
Yes, I'd be concerned, too, maybe. Is the bullnose strip vertical, as well, or is your intention to continue a horizontal line across a vertical surface? If the latter, how about routing a dado into the wood surface, into which you could run an aluminum bar to support the weight of the horizontal stone?
Excellent suggestion Ralph.
I'm going to do just that.
Thank you very much.
