Hey, I've seen many decal decorations using VINYL is it posible to use VINYL instead of laminate??

I think that's how they do most of the pacman cabs (or other cabs with full sideart).

Do use MDF if you laminate.It cost about the same as ply anyway.The cheap long grain ply is like $20 a sheet and so is MDF.And laminate sticks MUCH better on MDF.I did laminte plywood before.Wasnt happy at all.The surface was rough even with sanding.The laminte started coming off after like a month.
Why bother sanding when you can get smooth MDF for the same price.
(thats my local home depot)

Don't forget to factor in the cost of the forklift you're gonna need if you ever wanna move a laminated MDF cabinet. ;)

A 16mm width for wood is standard in Europe and 5/8" T-Molding can be find without problem.
