Have a potential job where a marble countertop is to have a hinged section installed so the is access to the laundry chute. I have seen the countertop guys drill and epoxy sinks to the countertops but I have never considered doing something like that myself. I suppose a countertop company might do that but first thought was it might be too small a job for them to consider. You are looking at maybe 8 screws on a piano hinge.
I have to think this thru because it seems to me that a countertop would almost always have stuff on it that would have to be moved to lift the lid to get to the laundry chute. Plus I am a little concerned about the weight of a piece of marble and maybe falling and hurting someone. They are thinking of a piece about 12 inches by 18 inches, maybe a bit more.
So is it possible I could do this job?
Any special epoxy needed?
Other thoughts?
