Cool! It looks like granite. Is it as strong as granite?

Hi there Chris, I understand that epoxy will yellowing over time. Are you not worries about this? Thanks for the video!

I'm not understanding how you did the edges. I see you started with them taped, which I assume was so your material wouldn't run off. Did you pull the tape after you got the pour done on top and let it run off the edges naturally?

Hey Chris what did you prime the countertop before epoxy it thanks. Looks great

Personally I would never use MDF, plywood is not that much more ! And you'll never have to worry about moisture issues.
