Is Particleboard okay if I'm using laminate over it?

<< < (2/2)

syph007:
my experience is that it is just ok.  The edges of it have a tendency to crumble.  I now only use it for mockups or templating.  MDF holds up better, but its nastier to work with, which is why I use particle board still for some jobs.  Routing the t-molding slot in particle board wont leave as nice of slot as other material.  But yes it will be covered up.  So I guess its probably fine, but I wouldnt recommend.

Edit:  Looks like pinballjim is using particleboard.  See the edges for what I was talking about.
