We used ENVIROTEX resin. I think that is how you spell it. Totally ok around food and they use it on bar tops. I painted my kitchen countertops with stone spray and made it look granite like. Then pour envirotex resin on top of it. It will drip down the sides and make the sides not so great(happened to us) so frame the sides or put contact paper on the sides so you don't get the plastic drips on the edge. Then you use a blow torch to get all the bubbles out. Follow the envirotex directions on the box. Google tutorials. It's a great product and our countertops have held up for years now. People ask me if it was real granite. I think we used 5-6 boxes of envirotex for our countertops. Something to think about instead of the countertop kits at Home Depot which is also an option. hope this helps. Good Luck!
You can purchase kits made for countertop refinishing from Rust-Oleum. Another option my friend did that looked amazing was spraying her counters with stone effects spray paint, then sealing with a pour on epoxy.
