I'm building a kitchen island with a top made of several pieces of 4/4" stock with final dimensions of 1"x24"x44". I intend to seal the top with a flood coat (1/8") of Liquid Glass, Kleer Kote, or some similar product. The top will be backed/glued across its entire dimension by/to a layer of 3/4" ply.
With the ply backing and epoxy coat, do I still need to make accommodations for expansion/contraction in attaching the top to the apron rails? Additionally, if there is any expansion/contraction is there risk that the epoxy coat will crack?
Thanks in advance for your help!
