[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I simply built a very sturdy 3/4" plywood sink with l-o-t-s of screws holding it together. Mine is L shaped, goes around a corner. 78" long on the long side and 48" long on the short side of the L. The sink is 36" wide and 8" deep. I built the back very high as a back splash (24"). I built this sink about 18 years ago when I built a new darkroom. I used marine resin as the sealer. Somewhere between five and eight coats. Sand in between. I have a very thick durable resin plastic sink that is super strong. One drain at each end of the long direction, that is, one in the corner of the L and the other at the other (long) end, at the back. Anyway, the answer is Marine Resin and hardener. I used a slow hardener and no coloring so the finish is clear. The coating, curing, sanding, coating, curing... etc. took about ten days. Jim
