You may not remember some of my previous posts but telling you (or anyone) what I really think is what I do. While the employment part was meant as tongue-in-cheek, it is an unusual use for this product. When working with a wood countertop I would be more interested in durability than water proofing. Is there any information as to whether the product is food safe? You will be working on, cutting on, preparing food on, a surface covered by a product designed for rust proofing (despite other claims). Do they claim their product to be food safe?
Yup, I remember.
With wood, moisture and humidity will cause swelling and shrinking. Between the construction adhesive between the black walnut and plywood on the bottom, and the sealing of the top with Por15, there should be no movement and no cracking, (checking). Since the Por15 is supposed to be completely waterproof, and extremely tough, I am willing to try it.
If I decide to, I can still cover this with Epoxy, or some other finish.
As far as food safe, I haven't seen anything about that.
We never cut anything on our counter tops, though. We always use a cutting board, in order to keep the counter from getting damaged, so I don't see that as an issue.
