Hi all,

I am in the process of designing a marble shelf for our overflow from the spa to the pool. I read some issues reg water "sticking" to the material, and not making a waterflow. So I was wondering how I could make the shelf so it has a water drip line. Should I ask the marble guy to, when he makes is beveled, to make a small cut/incision on the underside, to "break" the waterflow (What I have tried to mark with the red line here).

I am sorry for my terrible Paint skills, but I hope you get the idea.

The shelf is going to be 13 in x 48 in with a 1.5 in overhang.

Ay suggestions are highly appreciated.

Thanks.

Like the pic, my spa level rises by that additional height during overflow. Mine actually has and negative edge, as I have a tiered spa face. I've never had any issue making an overflow, waterfall, or, can run real slow and just have a flow down the whole face.
