Thread 2940791

I just remember that there was a video in youtube that showed how some architects made a sink layer by layer to make it sound like a waterfall.
It look the like the one in the photo but with steel

>>2940791 (OP)
this is the sink equivalent of chewing on tin foil

>>2940791 (OP)
>sink made of infamously absorbent material
Wild.
>intentionally making a sink with seams
Wild. You'd be better off sinking a cooking pot with a hole into your counter op.

Its not wildly outlandish because the epoxy or lacquer over the wood is doing all the waterproofing.

What does OP need to know? >>2940791 (OP)

I like it

I don't know what anything you said even is or what it is you're trying to communicate.

this actually sounds kino

>>2940791 (OP)
how do you clean this?

>>2941820
Sponge, mild cleaner, and a small amount of light scrubbing?

>>2941838
Every crease will be filled with gunk after 1 month

>>2941839
What creases? Do you mean the corners where the layers of plywood meet up Again, you use a clear epoxy or resin, the epoxy acts as a filet material at the corners giving a small radius.

Secondarily, this isn't going into a barth bathroom where 1000 patrons a night will spit in it, its probably not even going into a master bathroom where it sees daily use. Its going into some yuppies powder room or some wealthy persons side bathroom that gets used once a month.

>>2941846
Imagine closing the valve 99% shut and not noticing it drips every 2 minutes, then leaving it alone for a month.

>>2941848
Okay, then what?

>>2941531
okay, but even if you have magical epoxy that's somehow perfectly applied to that convoluted, porous material, the accumulated filth from washing whatever it is you wash will pair with the minerals in the water and build up over time into something that can only be cleaned with abrasives, which will eventually ruin the epoxy. Your only way to preserve this coating would be to use a soft cloth to wipe dry every drop of water from every crevice, every time you wash anything. Nobody's gonna do that. The sink is cool looking but stupid.

>>2941882
Exactly this.

This is gore.

i doubt something like this sounds like niagara falls

You're both playing this "whatabout" game without even knowing what you're talking about. The clear epoxy resin is intended for applications like this; its intended to be left outdoors, its intended to be a bar top, its intended to be be used in a commercial setting such as a bar tabletop.

So you're telling me (you), who has never used this product, are definitively saying it'll never hold up against water, never hold up against grime, never be cleanable, and will get soaked into a porous material, and it'll just be terrible in every conceivable way is where the manufacturer of this product in production for like 60 years has been wrong this whole time?

Woah.

>>2941927
It's pretty simple, letting dry multiple applications of tap water = calcium buildup. Your fancy tabletop there and your fancy wood bar you're talking about are both wiped dry with a soft cloth every time they get water splashed on them, just like I said would be necessary, and the water that does get splashed on them and left to dry is more often going to be filtered drinking water, thus less likely to leave a calcium rime. Calcium is not smooth and clear, it is crusty and white, and you have to basically sand it off once it's hardened. Do you have special sandpaper that's made for polishing epoxy? That would probably work. In any case, the smooth planed surfaces you are talking about are much easier to keep clean than the crenellated corrugated plywood relief map of a sink in the OP. Your logic is flawed, and your sink is stupid.

>>2941935
You can just spray some vinegar on lime and let it sit, it wipes off with a cloth. You don't need an abrasive at all.

>>2941927
Epoxy tables always discolour and wear terribly and look like shit after a year

sand it and polish to shine

>Do you have special sandpaper that's made for polishing epoxy?
do you know they make more than one grit of sandpaper?
it's not exactly a revolutionary concept to refinish things like epoxy
epoxy countertops are not new, yes it would take slightly more work than a completely smooth sink bowl but I would assume someone would consider that

>i cant go out this weekend bro i gotta sand my sink again

>>2940791 (OP)
>Plywood sink
Why stop there? How about a particle board sink? Maybe a cardboard sink?
Why not a sink made of layers of American cheese, think how much epoxy we could slather on that.

>>2941942
if it's fresh, sure. Vinegar doesn't do shit to months-old calcium buildup. Barkeepers friend chews it right off, but that stuff scratches chrome, epoxy won't stand a chance.

>Vinegar doesn't do shit to months-old calcium buildup.
You've never cleaned anything with vinegar, have you? I have very hard water to the point where it builds up in my kettle and has clogged faucets and shower heads to 50% water flow. You let the part soak overnight in plain white vinegar and its like new again.

Did /diy/ fill up with retards that don't know what epoxy is or how to use vinegar around the house?

>>2942659
yeah it does you just spray it on and it comes off with a paper towel after like 30 minutes lmfao

>>2940791 (OP)
I assume you would take 2 planks, and start cutting circles in them, alternating both size and which piece of lubber, until you have a pile of rings.

>>2942694
Sounds like a great idea.

>>2942852
You're now manually aware of the curing process which chemically alters the epoxy.

>>2940791 (OP)
There's an esoteric manufacturing technique called incremental step forming you could make this with, not you specifically the abstract you, you need real machinery to do it
