Slowly but surely my darkroom project is coming together. It won't be anything fancy. But I do hope to make it workable reasonable pleasant. I've just about finished making a work table for the enlarger. Now comes the sink. First decision is whether to build my own or buy one of the inexpensive Delta sinks. Does anyone have experience with the Delta plastic sinks?

If I build one out of plywood (I don't have much carpentry experience, but I have learned a few things making the enlarger table and do have detailed instructions in the "Build Your Own Home Darkroom" book), I will need to waterproof it. Here's what's been recommended to me so far at local paint stores. Comments?

1. "Tile-Doc" An epoxy paint made for refinishing (guess what) bathtubs, tile, etc. About $33/quart.
2. "Gluvit" +"Interlux Brightside Polyurethane" The first is an epoxy sealer and the second a topside marine paint. About $60 for the two.
3. ????? Other suggestions? Could I use Gluvit and a less expensive oil-based enamel?


Thanks for help.  This list is a continuing inspiration!
