| Laminate.... Grade? |

Hiyas, I'll start this off by saying thanks to everyone for the cab building tips so far. I have absolutely NO skill with woodworking yet, and lurking here has given me a wealth of information that I'll be keeping in mind now that I've begun work on my own cab (Based on UAII design). The question I have today is laminate. I bought 5/8" MDF, and plan on using 3/4" T-Molding. I assume that means that in order to keep the molding flush with the sides, a 1/16" thickness was needed for the laminate (I'll be laminating both sides of the side panels ). I visited www.formica.com and took a look at their product but the only Grade available in 1/16" is "Grade 43". By the description on the website, it doesn't sound like what other people have used on their cabs. Here's a description from the site: --- Quote ---Grade 43 (HCS, Nominal Thickness .062" (1.6mm)) ColorCore surfacing material in polished finish for vertical or light duty horizontal interior applications. Solid color throughout; eliminates the "dark line" of standard laminates. Available in 909 Black and 949 White only. Available only for Polished finish ColorCore --- End quote --- |

Why not just go to home depot and see what they mostly have for grab? I used their regular black laminate and it looks good. |
