What happens here

Cut a piece of plywood to the exact width and length of the vanity for the countertop. Edge band the plywood edges for a clean finish, then stain it to match the vanity cabinet. Attach the plywood countertop to the vanity with wood glue and clamps. Once secured, apply a clear gloss varnish (such as Total Boat Halcyon Clear Gloss Varnish) using a roller. The varnish can be reapplied within an hour for multiple coats, building a durable and water-resistant finish.

Goal: Build a simple plywood countertop, attach it to the vanity, and apply a clear gloss varnish for protection and a finished look.
