Jimmy, your like queer eye for the straight guy, kitchen edition. {toast}
Ryan wasn't there, so it was just the straight guy

Is the countertops smooth or textured?
Depends on how much time you put in sanding after you spread the chips I think. I spent 2-3 hours sanding, and the clear coat is thick as well, so it tended to fill in any imperfections that were left so its fairly smooth. I'll try to get a better shot of the finish with a real camera now that its hardened.
I'll keep y'all posted on how it holds up. The guys working the paint counter at Lowe's want me to bring them pictures too, they said I am the first person they have ever seen buy it.
