We built a very nice dark room sink of 3/8 inch plywood and 2X4's. it is
painted with high gloss enamel and has worked just fine for several months.
It will hold six trays for 11X14 and four 16X20 trays, so it does what we
want very well. I didn't keep track of hte cost, but it was not great. Be
sure and check that whatever you get will go in and out of hte intended
space.
