Galley tops.

[pandos]

I need to replace the tops on my galley. The sink is inset with a large lip and there is a fiddle rail edge that traps water. Whilst the coolbox/fridge is designed to act as a drain for any spillages...

I wonder has any one used an epoxy coating on a plywood base to create a one piece top

It strikes me that I could make a top with a marine ply base with the sink slung underneath and a step up to the hatch above the coolbox/fridge ..with fiddle rails allround and nicely rounded easy to clean junctions between the horizontal and vertical parts.

I thought about Corian or the like but I think the plywood/epoxy might be easier....

Any thoughts

Epoxy coating on plywood tops has been done by a few YouTubers over the last year, currently been done by expedition evans, would be worth a look,

I’m also looking to replace our galley tops with Corian but can find a supplier other than kitchen installers who aren’t interested in supplying smaller cuts.

Also try these

Thanks for that but I found it a very incoherent video mostly showing tools and little or no info on how to do it....

The one linked to by Daverw is excellent and much more informative.

I wonder is there a reason for these 1980 marble like effects? (Such as concealing defects? ) Or will a plain off white top look ok...

They are showing the actual coating on the next video, this one was the prep

Where are you based?

I have just ordered new solid worktops for my 26 footer (so not much worktop)
