I used a 2 part epoxy specifically designed for bar tops. Heck, it might have even been called "Bar Top. Don't remember.

What is super duper abso-fuckin-lutely CRITICAL is to mix it well. If you don't, you will end up with a soft, sticky spot that will not cure. Then you are FUBAR. I had to throw away the first top I tried for this very reason. Don't be like me.

Make an edge around your perimeter with masking tape, with a fourth of the tape sticking up. The tape will form the walls of the "cup" that you will fill with the epoxy. When it is dry, simply remove the tape. It should come right off, revealing a nice, clean edge.
