Hiya Folks,
I built a little table a while back for our laundry room using Maple and
MDF. I basically used the Maple for the legs,
stretchers, rails, and drawers. I used the MDF for the top. I then put
plastic laminate on the MDF given it's utilitarian
purpose and the fact that I got a great price on some close-out stock.
This was my first time laminating with plastic
laminate. 9 months later, the laminate appears to be buckling at the back
edge. I should also say I ran maple edging around the
table to enclose the laminate (ie. flush with the laminate). I'm now
thinking I need to trim the laminate and re-glue it but that's
for another day. My biggest question at the moment is why did it
lift/buckle? I thought MDF stayed constant in it's size?
Cheers,
