I have a 15 year old particle board workbench. The top is worn and I
would like to put some type of material over the top so that I have
a smoother surface. Any Suggestions? If so, what material should I
have cut to specs and what's the best way to place it (thickness)?
Nail it in? Sand top, apply adhesive, press new top on?


I just use plywood. Then I don't wory about acidentally drilling or
cutting into it. After it gets too beat up replace it.


That's what I used when I built my work bench. Same rationale.


Yep, plywood here too. Fastened it on with screws, then brushed on a few
coats of polyurethane to finish the job.
