I've got a project coming up and I figured I would put it out there for the experts in finishing.
My fiance would like a faux countertop in our kitchen. I'm thinking I could layer up some MDO let her paint on that, Put a solid wood edge on it, then seal it with minwax helmspar urethane. The minwax site says its good for countertops, but I wanted to know what you guys think? I'm a little concerned about it being food safe. not that we will be placing food directly on the countertop, but I would still feel better if it was food safe.
Also any other finishes or ideas you have for finishing the countertop, I'm definitely open fo suggestions.
