Hey guys, I'm looking into building a rack out of Melamine. I found a guy selling 1/2"X '4 X 8' sheets for $10 apiece. He says it fiber core Melamine, is that what i want?
Thanks,

Just see the truth
I guess another way to say MFD
Medium Density Fiber Core Hardwood Plywood (MDF)
MDF is made from fine wood dust mixed with a binder and heat-pressed into panels. The sheets can be sold as-is, or a veneer skin, like oak or maple, can be laid up on the sheet. (The veneered sheet is the most common form, but blank MDF sheets are available as Paint-Grade)

At that price I would jump on it.

if it's similair to the particle board then just make sure you coat it with polyeurothane really well or it will get wet and drastically expand and fall apart. It's a huge catch 22 because it looks great and the price is great but if you don't treat it right it could break and fall apart after a couple years just from absorbing moisture from inside the vivarium. Also a lot of it uses soft wood like pine and cedar for the sawdust so that can be a problem as well.
