Any ideas on a good method of installing this sink...I've google for
undermount technique and results are fuzzy.
Ceramic tile? Travertine? Cultured something or 'nother? Formica?

Thanks for any suggestions..

I just finished installing a small round ceramic sink under a solid
surface material similar to Corian. The material works easily, and
sands and buffs to a high shine easily, and can be repaired.

Some caveats -making a backsplash with a curved transition between
horizontal counter and vertical backsplash is non-trivial, at least
for me. This material is normally 0.5 inches thick. You aren't
supposed to put the anchors for the clips into material that is less
than 1" thick. So plan to double the thickness of the counter around
the rim. No big deal, but it will lower the drain 0.5". I attached
mine with 100% GE silicone as per the recommendation, and then used
clips. So far, so good.
