I have seen an ad for a method to resurface a countertop with some kind of
man made granite.

The old top is covered, without dismantling, with what looks like a 1/4
inch
thick granite.
I assume the stuff is poured because it curves to form the front edge.

Anybody has experience about durability or any other problem?

You're talking about this stuff, I assume:
http://www.granitetransformations.com/granite.html

Appears to be granite dust / chips in an epoxy or polyester binder. I would
think it would be fairly durable - but have no 1st hand exp.

The cost may not be significantly less than a new granite counter, though.
No demo required, tho - which can be a plus.

We took a look at that "Granite Transformations" stuff when they opened up a
place in town. While it might be nice alternative to something like Corian
(the epoxy binder is going to give it a lot of the same heat-related downsides
as Corian, without Corian's "buff out scratches" upside), it comes out a distant
second in the esthetics department -- the stuff has very little "depth" to it.
