Yes, although painted Formica will no longer serve as an appropriate surface for chopping and other rough use. Formica should be thoroughly washed with powdered detergent, and then primed with XIM - UMA Primer (according to instructions on container). XIM Primer is available through most good independent paint merchants, or can be ordered from Phillips. After allowing the UMA primer to dry for 3 or 4 hours it should be sanded glass-smooth with a very fine paper - 220 or higher.

Yes, you can mix and match various countertop materials, and in doing so, will actually create a custom look that suits your styles and needs. For example, you could have mostly solid surfacing, with butcher block near cutting and prep areas and some natural stone near area for baking or putting down hot items from the stove or oven.

StreetBond? is the surfacing system used with StreetPrint? Pavement Texturing to color and fortify the surface. When cured, StreetBond? is an Interpenetrating Network (IPN) which means that, like composite materials or alloys, it is able to produce properties that significantly exceed those of a single component system. StreetBond? combines polymer and cement technologies to achieve an exceptional combination of durability, curing characteristics, performance properties and natural appearance.

Seams between different layers should never line up together. The top layer should be staggered, so that you avoid two layers having a seam meet in the same place. It's important or, you'll get noticeable kinks in the transitions. [ Also, water can get deeper into the ramp though seams ] The bracing should always be doubled up where seams meet, for the same reason. Everywhere that a seam ends up, install another 2x4 under it, just to be safe. See similar questions...

Most surface modelling packages allow only approximate control over the shape and quality of surfaces. ICEM Surf allows precise direct control over all surface attributes and displays the current surface characteristics dynamically as you make changes to your model. In addition all surface diagnostics (sections, reflection lines, etc.) that help to analyse the current surface quality are dynamic and associative. See similar questions...

Technically speaking, nothing! Sonically speaking, everything! In the beginning, there were only tubes... and inside your amp you would find them glowing as they amplify your signal. Eventually they a found "better" way of making amps and tubes were replaced by things like operational amplifiers and transistors. From that point on, amps could be made smaller and cheaper, but not necessarily better. Tube amps sound warmer, smoother, and more musical for any style of music. See similar questions...
