Anybody ever seen any camo formica?
I would like to find some camo formica to cover my work/reloading bench in my gun room. So far no luck. Any ideas out there?

Actually it's pretty easy to make.
First you need a good sturdy bench top to make your table.
Then some 1/4" to 3/8" sides all the way around.
Then some camo of your favorite flavor.
And I am unsure of it's name, But it is a clear liquid and hardiner that you will pour over till thich and it will self level... That's it
I have seen tables and bars covered with it and they seem to take alot of abuse over the years,,,,,
You could even toss a couple of shell casings in there to really drive you nuts over the upcoming years!!!
Let us know how it turns out!

I use tons of different brands of HPL (what you're calling Formica) and haven't seen any yet in a drawer full of sample chains, sorry!
As mentioned above there is self leveling epoxy bar top resin but it a slick glossy finish and if you try hard you can chip it. If you have access to spray equipment conversion varnish or one of the new polycarbonate diol finishes (both clear and very durable) are possibilities over a camo paint job.

Thanks for the replies, I want to put formica on the upper and lower cabinets and doors. Not sure if I want the work surface bare wood or covered. I just thought since you can get everything else, including under britches, formica would be easy to find. Not so.
