Have you found that you need to be real careful when dropping
silverware or other metal pans and such into the sink?

Me? Careful? Wrong girl . No, not particularly ...

True confessions time, I was a little less careful than I should have
been when I went to knock out a 4th hole. Broke the shoulder off the
sink, when I hit the sink instead of the knockout (duh). Kind folks at
HD even took it back (!). Next sink, I used the ball peen hammer, as
suggested in the first place.

I think the acrylic makes it less brittle - protects both the sink, and
the glasses you drop in it (none broken yet!). To answer your question,
I haven't noticed a thing, in terms of scratches. I did notice that
after rinsing out painting brushes, some of the paint was harder to dig
out of the sink's texture, but it came out.

Just realized tonight: between the ceramic flattop stove, the granite
counters, and the sink ... I can put hot stuff ANYWHERE! Weird feeling.

If I weren't such a stupid HD lemming, I'd have liked the grey FHP sink.
I do like the one I've got well enough, tho. So, go for it!
