Im trying to cut some plastic coated MDF (Melamine?) using a powered jig

A friend told me there is a special blade for doing this. Can anyone advise
me?
Im a rank amateur with only a jig saw and a planer to my my name. I
dont want to buy any further power tools as Id not have any real use
for them.

Blade has too few teeth - find a laminate blade with finer teeth.
Turning off the orbital action on the jig saw may help.
Tape up the cutting line with masking tape before cutting.
