Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
For counters, use 350 Postform or Postform High Wear with 60 Matte Finish, and put a backer sheet on the underside to prevent warp. Route compact panels with carbide tooling and leave room for expansion at fastener points. The 43 in. by 60 in. repeat is large, so plan seams so the slate pattern lines up across adjacent pieces.
Laminate dust and cut edges are hazardous; wear a dust mask, eye protection and gloves when cutting or routing sheets.
