Copper countertop update (pic)
Comments (34)Oh, I see. :-) I sort of liked it on the first pix, before seeing the wall appliances, but now it feels like "too much of a good thing" to me. If it were my kitchen, I'd want the copper coutertops "stand out" by themselves, I think. But I am not an expert. :-)...See MoreAnyone have copper countertops?

Comments (11)My first choice for a counter top is either quartz or granite. Since I couldn't find anything I liked I puchased stock laminate counter top from Menards, but I'm not sure of the name. My intention is to live with this counter top until I find something I love. (most granite yards are hours away.) I was going to use this copper sink as an drop-in and change it to an under mount when the new counters were installed. I just spoke to a rep from Copper Sinks Online and I've decided not to install the copper sink at all, until the new countertops are installed. Now, it's back to the lumber yard! Thanks for responding, my kitchen is only a few days from completion and you've helped me though a nightmare!...See MoreI did it! DIY copper countertops
Comments (100)Hi Sosha, I fear this thread has dropped off the face of the earth, but wanted to find it again today and just saw your comment -- we used a special-ordered liquid glue made for copper (I'm so sorry I can't recall the name of it, but they may have even better glues on the market now) and clamped both the top sheet and the side bar pieces firmly onto the mdf using woodworking clamps. Were I to do it again, I would probably use a vacuum system for the clamping, since there was one slight portion of the flat peninsula top that bubbled after a few years. The new owner of my old house says they're still OK 7 years later, so this method of constructing the counters apparently has longevity, even with minor hiccups here and there. Best of all: you can recycle the whole schmear when you're sick of it, and make a few bucks for your next countertop. :)...See Morealphonse
