[pure-silver] Re: More on Sink project

PEX is the grey/white plastic plumbing pipe they will sell. It might even be
called PEX :-). It is joined by copper joins and a crimped ring

I used regular plywood (3/4") for the sink and a marine epoxy to paint it -
if the Expoy worked the plywood wasn't going to get wet.
For the walls I used pegboard - since the pegboard has no finish I can see
the screws holding it to the studs for shelves, etc.

HI Dave,

You used the gyp rock that is used in bathrooms.  Makes sense in a darkroom.
I used 3/8" marine plywood for the walls and 3/4" marine for the sink.  This
way, I don't have to worry about finding studs if I want to attach something
to the wall.

Still, what is PEX?  We have Rona but no Revy.

Cheers,
Bogdan
