How to install copper countertops?
We are first going to patina the copper to obtain what they call an "antique" finish. Then install. Both have extensive DIY experience( house flippers) but neither has dealt with copper countertops....any tips or words of wisdom? We'll b working with 32 gauge and plan a lacquer top coat. Thanks

Hi Peggy, your project sounds so interesting and if/when you do it I hope you will take pics and share on Hometalk. I've been thinking of doing this too, but haven't got the nerve to do it just yet. Here's an instructional video about working with copper sheeting, not sure of the gauge, but hope it has a few helpful tips for you to consider. Good Luck and hope to hear of your success!
