Makes sense, but that's a new one to me! Why not make a nice Starboard cover? doubles as a cutting board. Otherwise, I bet you'll be touching up painted stainless a lot.

Yep it actually happened.

I think I would agree on the cover. Starboard is an inexpensive solution. In my galley, I used Corian to match the counter tops. Added a fair amount of food prep space. Easy to make either way and you can find Corian remnants via google. Aside from touch ups, most of the epoxy products I am aware of are not UV stable and have a tendency to yellow and/or chalk over time. Given that the sink gets substantial sun exposure, this will probably be a concern. rt -- Randy Thompson Soul Tender Sent from my iPhone On Feb 5, 2011, at 10:53 AM, JHWardJr@aol.com wrote: > Makes sense, but that's a new one to me! > Why not make a nice Starboard cover? doubles as a cutting board. > Otherwise, I bet you'll be touching up painted stainless a lot. > > > In a message dated 2/5/2011 12:00:11 A.M.
