Re: [DIYbio] Re: Preferred cheap countertop surface?

Well I decided to take a hybrid approach to test out that RustOleum Appliance Epoxy. All of the wood was primered with Kilz Interior/Exterior oil-based paint, then sprayed with the RustOleum product (well except the very bottom, and very top where I would just silicone the granite on). I cordoned off a garage bay with clear plastic, and painted with the door open, closing it after a few minutes of finishing spraying. I had a small utility heater in the area on low, but it must have only kept the temperature in the high 50s or low 60s Fahrenheit. After a day or two, I sanded with one pass of 220 grit. Then I coated it again with most of second can, and let dry for another 2 or 3 days before bringing into my house and attaching the top granite with silicone.

I am not convinced it is fully dry yet, as I pulled a house-key across it gently and could see a mark. Hopefully it will harden up, otherwise I can only guess it might have been too cold while it cured. The label does say to wait either an hour or a week to recoat, and I did it after a day or two. Anyway, time will tell. It isn't the main surface, so it isn't a huge deal.

Thanks for the tips, everyone!
