Result:

Remedial action:


* * *Dried out with fan and light bulbs.
* * *Sanded off punky particle board with ROS.


Current status:


* * *Cabinet floor is mostly smooth and dry with some small patches
of dry but rough and a little punky PB.


Limitations:


* * *Replacing cabinets is NOT an option just now.


Question:


* * *What is best solution and prophylactic action?


First, fix the leak. There was no mention of that. Maybe you implied
that.



I'm thinking
of sealing the particle board and MDF with something (shellac, wood
preservaticve, &tc,. ???), then coating with a primer (Kilz?), then
painting with a quality oil-based paint.


Any suggestions?


Again, thanks a heap,

Probably just get it smooth, mabye give it a coat of exterior paint if
it's real bad, and cover with shelf liner. Or if you want a better
result with more work, you can go buy a sheet of veneer cabinet
facing, make a template and glue in place. Will likely have to be in
more than one piece though to get it in
