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.


Mine is an 8 foot section of a bowling alley reduced down to about 24" of
width. If it looks bad enough I can just sand it. Haven't really felt the
need the need in the last 20 years.

It was fun to watch when the movers grabbed a hold of it to move.
