Yeah I know it warps, it would only be for this season. It's also slippery if it needs to be stepped on.

Btw thanks Joe, I kinda wanted mine white.

I guess I'm just gonna glass over some plywood and finish it out. Now that I think about it the slippery thing bothers me.

Is it really a warp or just expanding and contracting?

I have been working with it over the past year as a counter top on a desk that is outside at a marina and the stuff sure will expand and contract over the seasons but in the year I have had zero issues with warping... on the counter top. That stuff ain't cheap either.

it's very flexible for it's density and it needs to be backed by something or use a fairly thick piece for short spans. I have a couple peices on my cutting boards on my dock and I flip them a few times a year to keep them flat, still better than acrylic though

I used 3/4 inch MDO and coated it with epoxy and finished with one part poly. They are heavy but I liked the results.
