I'm still trying to figure out what to sell it as to tenants / buyers?

It can be poured over anything and it levels itself out to a glass look finish. There are endless ways this stuff can be used. I can't really speak to the specific ways you mentioned though. It uses gravity to level out so flat surfaces are best. When we did the countertops the edges had to be constantly monitored while the polymer leveled out, displacing the extra to drip off the side. Because of this, a tub might be a tall order, but a sink could probably be done. Would you paint the sink first or?

Depends on your market. What is warranted?

I hadn't really thought about the overall time it took. I guess: 6 hours to paint (including dry time and touch up), an hour to pour, over the first few hours I have to keep brushing the edges and catching droplets on the underside, and then 2 days to fully cure. 

I was thinking today about the best way to explain what this is to a possible tenant or buyer. Acrylic countertops? Resin? Composite? What sounds high end?

I've been an electrician in Washington (the real one..) for 10 years, residential, commercial, and industrial. I've learned a ton from BP so this is me trying to give back with knowledge of something I know very well. Hit me up anytime.. even if you're reading this a year from now..

@Clark Winkler makes a good point about installation. It's pretty crucial to have the temperatures dialed. 

In the building I'm working at, they're installing a brand called evolve. It's very durable vinyl plank flooring, I swear there's rubber in there as well. Anyways, it's being put in 193 units so it's got to hold up.

Hilti is the best of the best for these types of fastening. Their equipment is pretty incredible machinery. But it's very very expensive. This is a good tool to RENT. 

I didn't know Disneyland sold houses!? 

I just bookmarked WLA for suture use. Thank you @Steve Vaughan for posting it.
