I want the t-molding to line up and I can't find 5/8 mdf or plywood so I'm stuck with Particleboard. If one side will have laminate is Particleboard okay to use? |
| upper2bits:
Actually, doing a little more reading it it appears that the laminate is only 1/32" think so 3/4 MDF with that might fit with 3/4 t-molding. No? |
| upper2bits:
More reading, would it work to just use 3/4 mdf, 1/16 laminate and then get 13/16 tmodling? |

I used particleboard for my painted bartop and it's coming out fine. I would definitely use it if I was laminating, much cheaper than mdf or plywood. |

Well I took delivery a few weeks ago of a pre-build cocktail cab, it's laminated particle board (or chipboard as we call it over here) and it's absolutely fine, very sturdy indeed. |
