Making a Zinc Top - Full Tutorial Version

[@breakinn403]

Those corners are fantastic! The folds don't telegraph through. Excellent work Mitch as usual.

What solution do you use to create the patina? thanks!

[@maddesignsllc9407]

Great video as always. One question- it looks like you were wiping something out of the corner joints after you folded the second side up- do you put adhesive or something in there to hold the end of the side piece tight to the other side piece?

Yes I did. Go to 8:55

[@maddesignsllc9407]

@@hffcom not sure how I missed that. Thanks!

Thoughts on these as outside tables?

[@hffcom]

OK if its covered. The metal can't get full sun or it will get too hot and expand

What do u do when the countertop is 10' long and far as the substraight

[@hffcom]

I would make the advantek in 2-3 pieces cleated together with solid wood 10' boards.

@hffcom my plan was to cut the adjoining end of the Advantec at a 45 degree angle so they aligned then on the back side router out an area to install flat steel bracket. I would then wrap the edging of the Advantec in a sold wood piece. Is this what u are talking about. By the way, I did my kitchen in Zinc countertops about 6 years ago using ur method and I still love them today
