Re: [DIYbio] Preferred cheap countertop surface?

Keep an eye out for school demolition, I got a truckload of those epoxy counters, plumbing, and sinks from a chem classroom a few years ago. They're all installed at the local hackspace.

Personally, I've got an ikea workbench with a few foot wide sheets of tempered glass laid across it. When they get really messy, I just run them in the dishwasher.

I'm going to scan craigslist again for some cheap granite too.

That and keep an eye open for construction cast offs.
A $20 cheap harbor freight 4 inch grinder plus a $7 diamond blade will
cut through granite when you spray water on it as you go.
Also the top edges of the cuts can be beveled that way.

Also consider remodeling trash that is "cultured marble" counter tops.
My real lab benches are made of black "cultured marble" that is dense,
fire resistant, acid proof, strong, smooth, cleanable, polishes well.
They are made of some kind of 2 part resin and rock dust in Taylor Texas.

Too bad you can't ship a 130 lb lab bench top with backsplash -- I have extra.
