Inexpensive Way to Do Workshop Countertops
Sand the plywood with sandpaper to create a smoother surface. Carefully remove all dust from the surface. Use the plywood in its raw form as your countertop or finish it with your choice of finishes. Note that plywood is a porous material; be aware that when you paint plywood, the plywood will absorb most of your paint, unless you prime the surface before painting. Prime the plywood with a stain inhibiting primer. Save money on paint by using a good quality primer. Use a paint brush or roller brush to apply the top coat of paint. Choose whatever color you like; however, keep in mind that this is a workshop countertop, and as such, it may get dirty in a short time. Maintain a cleaner appearance, with less time and expense by choosing a darker color for your countertop.
