Mosiac bathroom countertop

18 years ago

Hey guys,

I have a friend that would like to make a mosiac stained glass countertop in her bathroom and pour clear acrylic on top. Does anyone have any experience doing this???

I do lots of stained glass, but I've never done a countertop or used clear acrylic.

Should we use plywood or concrete backer board? Sanded grout? Etc.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

I imagine that clear resin would scratch very easily . . .

Hey! Welcome.
One of our "addicts" here did a bathroom counter that turned out amazing!! I'll link you to that thread.
I would also be afraid the acrylic would scratch easily.
I'd also use hard backer for your substrate.

I think if you used a grinder on all your glass, you wouldn't need the acrylic. I can run my hands over all my glass stuff. Just seal the grout real good, and there is really no need for it.

SLOW's makes mine look like a kindergarten prototype, but I DID cover mine with 2-part epoxy resin, and it turned out fine. Totally waterproof, and it doesn't scratch. Let me know if you want the link to the thread and I'll try to find it.
