How to make waterproof countertop?

[Clownfish2]

I recently installed a standalone sink in my garage. There is a cabinet with a (unattached) countertop next to it, but the countertop is basically dense rough surface particle board.

What could I buy or make to replace the countertop making it waterproof so I could put wet buckets on or cleaning a wet pump?

Thanks

Epoxy is the best way to go. You could just use wallpaper or something like water sealer or dryloc but I really like clear epoxy.

Marine grade epoxy paint/sealant?

My countertop was just plywood next to my sink. I used an expoxy garage floor paint

Cheapest & easiest would be a Formica prefabricated counter top.

There is a product called Red Guard that creates a waterproof membrane that you can apply with a paint roller. You can paint it after if you dont like the red coloration it leaves.

How about barcoat? The thick clear pour on coating like used on bar tops.
