Default Sealing edge of particle board

This isn't really much in the way of a "fine woodworking" question, but I
hope it will be close enough to on topic.

I bought a metal shelving unit that uses particle board to put on top of the
structure. The particle board, of course, is unfinished.

As I will be at least putting a coat of primer on the particle board, I am
looking for a way to seal up the edges.

I have seen references to using a thin mixture of wood glue, and that seems
like a decent way to go. For anyone who has used that, how thin did you
make it? Maybe a 1:2 ratio of water to glue?

Any other methods?

Thanks,

Jon
