: I'm thining of going with Polished Marble Formica for my CP, anybody used Formica? How's it hold up?

Make sure you have the right tools to shape the stuff with - it's not real easy to get nice edges without using either a router or a laminate cutter.

I've gone through a similar exercise and decided on using melamine film - it's much thinner, easier to cut and work with and simply glues on with everyday PVA.

Having said that, laminate offcuts seems relatively easy to come by whereas melamine is another matter (may be different in the U.S.).

Each to their own, but at least it gives you another option.
