I have a table I want to cover with a prefinished white shelving board I
can obtain at the home center. I believe it's some sort of pressed wood
product. The shorter shelves have finished edges but the one I am
contemplating is finished on one edge. I don't care about the back as that
would be against a wall but what can I do with the ends? I suppose I could
just sand them nice and smooth and paint with several coats of white
enamel. Or is there something better?

In case it matters the table I wish to cover is 96" x 16." The shelving
board I can get is just a little under that but I think I can make it work.


I haven't used it in many years, but this type of shelving can be
edge-finished with a pre-glued iron-on strip - bought in a roll.
Practice on a scrap first - it can tend to move around when the
glue melts

Or - a strip of real-wood glue & brad - sometimes this can look
nice - natural wood finish contrasting with the plain melamine.

It also has a bad habit of coming off - - -

Especially when you catch it with a piece of clothing. Of course if one
likes a flame pattern...
