     to beat a dead horse, i used 1/2" particle board
     & garden variety fiberglass with cloth. inside
     & out. i painted the inside with Copon (sp?)
     which is a marine grade paint. very tough stuff.
     that was 1978 & nary a problem. i am the type
     who leans over the sink resting his forearms on
     the egde. to this i added a strip if half-round
     trim that you'd normally see surrounding a door
     frame. very comfortable.
     best
