Anybody know what their stock number is for that stuff?
No, but they may be confused by the word "melamine". I went in to
buy a couple sheets of laminate, asked where they were and they
showed me the melamine PB. Try asking for "laminate".
Melamine PB is a low-pressure laminate, while Formica and the like
are high-pressure laminate.

Yes, I know. I didn't want the mel board, wanted laminate...my
point was that the HD employee thought mel board was laminate;
therefore, it is possible that...

Oh, nevermind

I know what you meant, I'm just not sure it would help. If I asked
for "laminate" I'd be worried about being pointed to the flooring
department.

Well, if you are you are. Won't be the last time you'll wander all over a
Home Depot looking for something that nobody can find.

Wanted a particular kind of Y hose fitting one day. Went into Lowes,
everybody I asked referred me to a different department, finally the manager
told me that they didn't have such a thing. So I went out to the car,
cranked up my laptop, ordered it online from that store, had lunch, went
back after lunch, and they had it waiting for me.
