Can you paint melamine faced chipboard?

Yes, it is possible to paint melamine faced chipboard even with the slick surface. However, this requires preparation of the surface with a high quality bonding primer to ensure the paint sticks. You should also clean and lightly sand it to dull the sheen and create a surface for the primer to adhere.

How to cut melamine-faced chipboard?

The process is simple and breaks down as follows: Mark where you are going to make the cut on both edges of the board and put down masking tape between the points. Use your measurements to make a clean line between the points. Use a sharp knife to score the laminate surface to create a guideline, with a steel ruler to guide your action. Once scored, use a traditional handsaw/circular saw/jigsaw to cut the board following your guide line. Clean up the edge with a sander, router, or planer to ensure it doesn’t start chipping due to irregular edges.

Is melamine faced chipboard waterproof?

MFC is more moisture resistant than other finished chipboard products due to the melamine overlay. However, if moisture makes it into the chipboard core through unbanded/exposed edges, it can cause swelling, distortion from internal stress, and chipping.

Will melamine peel off?

Melamine doesn’t peel off like paint since the resin hardens and keeps its structure over time. It can bend or warp from the chipboard swelling or from heavy loads, but it does not peel off by itself without some stress or exposure to harsh conditions over long periods.
