Countertop Rescue

Epoxy counter tops have been popular for a while, now. When they are done currently they can mimic exotic materials are create a really unique look. Now, Ive attended my share of classes on Youtube University, but a pour-in-place counter top like this orange monstrosity should only be attempted by experienced professionals. The results can be very off-putting if done incorrectly. The edges were uneven, the counter was out of level and wasn’t flat enough to seal against the flange of the kitchen sink, causing water infiltration. Ick.

I remade the counters with a more traditional laminate and used a real plywood substrate as opposed to the usual particle board product you would normally find in this situation. Came out great. Looks like its supposed to, fits way better than it did and the customer can now actually enjoy being in the kitchen. A few cabinet repairs, a touch wall repair and its a whole new kitchen.
