AS you can see, there are as many sinks as there are darkrooms. I went the
route of marine plywood with white epoxy paint with hardener. It
reassembles Jims set up. I am working on digital stuff today at home, but
will be down in the studio later. If you'd like I can snap a few shots of
the set up. It is made with 4 sheets of 1/2 board. I have 10" high fronts
and sides and back splashes that are 18 to 24 inches. The joint in the
middle is a routered lap joint. This has been working for 6 years in this
location. I was in a hurry when I made it and only put two coats of paint
on. I may add one coat to the heavily used wetter end soon.
