Maggie, ?Sealing granite is merely wiping it clean and then spraying? a "sealer" on it and wiping that.? No brushes or anything other than a clean cloth.? That being said....I ruined my granite sink top (vanity) because I sprayed bathroom cleaner on it and let it sit for a minute then wiped..or tried to..it stained it all! I have had granite in my kitchen for years and never had a problem ...I would be nervous about acetone or other chemicals tho.... Had Corian on my kitchen years ago and every scratch showed....didn't like the way it wore at all.....JMHO....

So, after 14 years I am seriously designing my next desk. The one I have now has a Formica countertop and it has lasted this long and is still going strong despite years of using it as a palette for both acrylic and acrylic paints, as well as the occassional step stool. (it's a solid desk!) That Formica has proved to be right near indestructible! ? So, do I stick with Formica? Is it really the best thing? Does anyone have any experience with Corian or other solid laminates as a countertop for a nail desk? Something that stands up to product, abrasives (I've been known to drop the drill before,) acetone-- especially acetone! ? I've seen some beautiful nail desks being made with granite countertops, but after talking to several countertop-folks I've decided to stay away from anything that requires sealing, as I'd just have to have it resealed periodically and, frankly, I'm not that diligent. ? ?
