Hi Spud,
Here is an oldish thread about a section of Encore that I made from a few spare bits that I had. It is Quartz White ( more of an off white really). As you can see from the pictures, there are loads of joins in it but none of them were visible.

The paler the colour, the more preparation you need to do. The joints have to be SPOTLESSLY CLEAN......!!!!! Using the de-natured alcohol, clean and wipe the mating surfaces and at least 10mm of the surface either side of the joint 3 or 4 times until you can see no change in the colour of the clean cloth you are using. Bushboard supply there own cloths in the Installation pack. I cut them into smaller sections and ONLY USE THE SMALL SECTION ONCE, then throw it away.
I assume you are using Bushboards own adhesive and it is the correct colour for the tops you are installing?
The Encore material is a bit tougher on your router cutters than a laminate worktop, but you certainly shouldn't need to use a new cutter for every joint that you cut.....
Snezza.
