Rather than using my shops workbench which that is covered with a 1/4" sheet of outdoor carpeting which would absorb spills, I decided to build a new smaller bench dedicated to wet process developing.
It is made out of 2 sheets of 1/2" CDX plywood laminated using PUR adhesive, once fully cured it was mounted to a 2 X 4 frame fastened to the studs in the wall and supported by 2, 2 X 4 legs.
To seal it up I painted it with a few coats of black enamel paint.
Above the bench I installed a shelf built out of 3 sheets of 1/2" plywood, also laminated with PUR, once fully dried it was given a coat of Table Top epoxy and since it would be supporting jugs of chemicals was fastened to the wall with 5 L brackets held in place by either studding or Togglers.
To make sure I would have enough outlets I added a second 1900 box with a self grounding double duplex cover, the box on the left is switched, the one on the right is un-switched upstream it is protected by a 15 amp single pole breaker.
For process timing I purchased a inexpensive 8 position timer designed for use in a fast food place, it has a stainless steel housing and the front panel is sealed to deter the entry of cooking oil or cleanup water, I think it will hold up well in my application.
