Kitchen Sink Covers?

Anyone know where to find these for a 68' Safari?

I have extras. What color. Mine are greenish for double sink.

I think I would make them. In fact, I am thinking about replacing mine cut out of wood cutting boards. It would be really nice to have cutting boards in my kitchen.

Thanks Mustang. If you are willing to send them along, I would appreciate it. Green is fine

New Ones

New ones are made out of high impact plastic. Ideal for cutting boards. I flip mino over and use the bottom side just so the top won't get scratched.

BTW. Who really uses them? I wanted a stove cover - now I barely remember to use it. Most of the time my sink covers are tucked in the cabinet. Only come out when company is coming.

I took the butcherblock top off of an old KitchenAid dish washer. I cut it in half, planed it down to clean surfaces top and bottom, and routered the bottom to fit the double sink bowls on each half. When sanded and oiled it completely covers the sink area from raised edges all around except where it was cut out for the faucet set. It lines up in the center to form one complete cutting board cover and looks/works great. hope this helps... Ed

If you plan to make them make from wood be sure you put laminate on both sides otherwise you will end up with a serving bowl. Don't ask how I know

Mine were missing also but I found some bamboo cutting boards at Lowes and cut them to fit. They really look great.

I wish the sink covers/cutting board that came with the unit matched the countertops. We have midnight sun interior, but the sink covers are a stark white.

Funny this topic should come up. I made a cover for the one sink out of some exotic bird's eye maple and was getting ready to make the second one when I found the wife had decided to wash the first one in the dishwasher. Not a good idea. Back to square one.

Got the same thing. The plastic is food grade cutting board material. I think it might only come in white. They do eliminate the need to carry extra cutting boards, however they are NOT designed to withstand really hot objects like pots or pans. I found out the hard way, but fortunately it happened with a cheap Wal-mart board, not the actual sink cover.

Thumbs up Corian sink covers cheap

Go to a company that installs Corian counter tops. They will have some of the cut outs from installing sinks in houses. You can use a carbide tipped blade and cut to any size you want. A router with good bits will trim to the EXACT size and smooth the edges.. Drill a "finger lift hole" in one corner and finnish it with the router.
If your sink is "TOP" mounted on the counter, then there is a glue ( available at the same dealer) for gluing TWO pieces together. Cut one that fits inside you sink and the top piece to the size you want. Finnish with the same process as above.
They will stay in place in transit because of the weight. Any way they do in my 34' Limited.
