I read a suggestion to use 1/8" Hardboard topped with 1/8" Acrylic
Coated MDF for kitchen drawer bottoms.

The theory is that the Acrylic Coated MDF looks good, is easy to
clean and wouldn't need to be covered with shelving paper, etc.

Has anyone done this? If so, did you glue the panels together? If
so, what type of glue works for hardboard and MDF?



If you glued the panels together they would be stronger. Past that
if the white panel scratches it might look worse after a few years.

Plywood is always going to be stronger than hardboard. You might
consider 1/4" paint grade plywood and paint it the color of choice
with an enamel paint.


That's what I prefer. 1/8", even 3/16" feels cheap and sounds cheap.
1/4" ply feels strong, doesn't deflect, and makes much less noise when
things are places on it.

Just FYI...there was never a plan to use just 1/8". I was asking about a lamination of 1/8" hardboard and 1/8" Acrylic Coated MDF, totaling 1/4".
