Domjso and 2" thick countertop

I've read that the domjso is designed to be installed with a 1.5" thick countertop. Is it possible to install this sink with a 2" thick countertop?

We're thinking about DIYing concrete countertops, and the consensus seems to be that the integrity of the countertop would be compromised at less than 2".

Re: Domjso and 2" thick countertop

The 1.5" measurement is to ensure proper clearance for the 24" doors below - if you raise the c'top there will be a gap between the Domsjo and the top of the doors - you could attach a filler there or just leave it.
