What this video covers

Edgar and Sâmia install a marble-patterned laminate countertop on their boat galley sink to replace a previously planned self-leveling epoxy finish.0:14 The couple rejected the epoxy coating due to its lack of UV protection and poor heat resistance for hot cookware.4:42 To achieve a rounded edge on the countertop, Edgar initially attempted to use heated PET laminate, but the material failed to conform properly.5:32 He successfully bent the marble-patterned laminate around the curved edge using a heat gun.5:43 To prepare the surface for the laminate, Edgar filled the gaps in the rounded edge with epoxy and used a router to level the material.6:11 The final result mimics the appearance of a stone slab while providing a durable, heat-resistant surface for the galley.8:07 Laminate provides a more practical and aesthetically consistent finish for boat galley surfaces than resin-based coatings when exposed to direct sunlight and high temperatures.
