I have been refinishing our basement for the past few months, carpet is on order and I am ready to work on the bar. Nothing elaborate for the time being, the Kegerator is in the garage and the "Brewery" is on the other side of the basement. But I am trying to decide what to do for the top of the existing bar.
I have been saving beer caps for 10+ years and always thought I would use these on a bar top, with glass over them, not the epoxy route. After laying them out loosely the other night I'm not sure it is what I am looking for. I'm toying with the idea of laying down copper sheet on the bar.
Does anyone have any experience in sheeting a bar with Copper? I was thinking of using something like this: Copper Sheet 10 mil 24" X 10' (rolled copper sheet) Craft Copper/ Tooling Copper/ Copper Foil
Does anyone have any experience with what thickness would be required. I would be laminating it over the existing plywood surface, so I can't imagine that it would need to be too thick. Just not sure what yet. If this is too thin, it may become cost prohibitive. Thanks
Edit: Lots of info on their site. Looks like it is possible http://basiccopper.com/thicknessguide.html
