Eine kleine Frage an die #woodworking bubble:
ich baue einen Badezimmerwaschtisch aus massiver Eiche.
Womit sollte ich am Besten die Oberfläche behandeln, so daß keine Wasserschäden entstehen?

Und:
das Waschbecken ist nicht aufgesetzt, sondern eingelassen (der Rand liegt auf dem Holz). Womit sollte ich Waschbecken und Holz verbinden? Silikon?

Bin für alle Tipps dankbar. 🙂

@teetrinker I have a similar idea, with an under mount sink and a maple countertop.

I’m considering marine epoxy to coat the maple, if it protects wood on salt water, it should work for a countertop. If the sun will shine on it, you must make sure that the epoxy has uv additives to protect it.

And try to avoid and standing water.

For the sink, as long as the sink is supported from underneath, whatever you use to seal the gap does not have to be strong. Depending on the material the sink is made from, silicone should work, you might also be able to epoxy it in place. But silicon would be easier if you had to remove the sink at some point.

@rand thanks rand! Actually I have worked a bit with epoxy, but for this project I prefer something like hardoil. I am unsure about oil and silicone not being friends, but we will see. 🙂
The main aspect about the silicone is that no water gets between the wood and the sink.

@teetrinker I guess, experiment. Finish two pieces of oak as you would the cabinet and see if you can bond them together with silicone?

If the oil has cured, I think it should work.
