no concrete needed to bind like you find in the recycled glass tops

so it's sustainable and cost effective, etc, but it's still hard to tell what it is... nano-thin glass coating? how strong is it?

i like this - i assume some sort of backing, so that you can't see into the (messy) cabinets below.

well, anybody could coat their labor intensive surfaces - dishes, counters, wood trim etc and end up with a surface that comes clean with just water!

Some day I'll redo my kitchen... at the same time i extend the back deck and turn the existing back deck into a greenhouse/studio. Oh, and redo my bathroom and add a second bathroom. Sometime after i win the lottery (which will be more likely once AL gets a lottery)


(my counters come clean-ish with water)
