Cant find 5/8th MDF to save my life.

Yeah I went to my local lumber yard like 5 minutes away and they sold half sheets and full sheets of 5/8" MDF. I am in Canada.

Pretty strange that it's hard to find in the US, you normally cant get anything here  ::)

I found and 84 lumber like 30-40 min away. I will call them tomorrow

please excuse my ingnorance but why not just use 3/4'? thats what im using. Gonna laminate it with formica on both sides where the t-molding will be and use 13/16" t-molding. the lexan im using for the CP is just under 1/8" so that should match up nicely

barrel_hopper:
3/4th looks way to huge for the Nintendo style cabinet I am trying to replicate. If I was building a Ms Pac or Galaga replica 3/4th would be perfect.

3/4 is very very thick looking even though the diff from 5/8th does not seem like that much

I was at a specialty woodworking store yesterday looking around and noticed they had 1/8" MDF all the way up to 1". Try searching your area for a specialty store that caters to woodworkers (not carpenters) and you may have some luck.
