Melamine sheets at Home Depot
Doug Miller
but I can't find it there any more -- and trying to find an employee who knows
what I'm talking about, well.... HD's web site isn't any help, either.
Anybody know what their stock number is for that stuff?
CW
And they weren't any help at the pro desk?
I ordered a couple sheets awhile back from Lowe's....
dadiOH
No, but they may be confused by the word "melamine". I went in to buy a
couple sheets of laminate, asked where they were and they showed me the
melamine PB. Try asking for "laminate".

Melamine PB is a low-pressure laminate, while Formica and the like are
high-pressure laminate.

The first (and only) time I saw 3/4" in stock it was leftover from
another customer's (large) special order. It was a one time deal, and
apparently as not something that's kept on hand (at my big-box stores
anyway).

My local HD got rid of their 4x8 panels last fall. However, Menards still
carries them.

It appears that we're all assuming we know exactly that the OP's talking
about. Perhaps he needs to clarify. When he says "particle board" that
could mean paneling -- but only if it's 1/8" thick (or so) and not 3/4" thick.
I assumed, because of the thickness that he's talking about MDF. But it
could be that he does mean paneling and that his dimensions are off....
Once upon a time..
I ran across sheets of 3/4" MDF (clad 2 sides in melamine) at Lowes.
I'd never seen it in stock before. It seemed like it'd save time. I
figured I'd use it for table tops, cabinets, shelves, etc for the
shop/garage." And so I bought a couple sheets. Since then, I've used
it for fixtures, wheeled cabinets, and various cross-cut sleds as well.

Particleboard is available in a range of thicknesses, 3/4" is a common
size. Wikipedia has a decent article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_board
MDF and particleboard are both available in a wide range of panel sizes
and thicknesses. Around here, melamine-covered panels (for use in
kitchen cabinets, for instance) are generally made from particleboard,
not MDF.

It's not MDF and it is 3/4" thick. It's the particle board that you
find under the pictures of wood in crappy furniture. The HD's around
here have always had it, at least in the 2'x4' quarter sheets, never
looked for the full sheets. But then I haven't been in there in a
couple years.

Thanks, didn't know they carried it. I'll check there.

Thanks for the link and the info, Chris.
Again, I had it in my head I knew what he was talking about: EITHER the stuff I
mentioned, OR the 1/8" - 3/16" thick sheets of paneling (MDF hardboard) clad
one side in melamine, like is used in low-cost shower installs. I wasn't
thinking covered particle board. But ONLY because I'd never seen the big-box
stores here carry such a thing.
Suppose you could say I was unable to think outside the box.... ; )
dadiOH
Yes, I know. I didn't want the mel board, wanted laminate...my point was
that the HD employee thought mel board was laminate; therefore, it is
possible that...
Oh, nevermind :)

I know what you meant, I'm just not sure it would help. If I asked for
"laminate" I'd be worried about being pointed to the flooring
department. :)

Last time I was in Home Depot they had a stack of 4x8 sheets of 3/4 inch
particle board, not MDF, with melamine on both sides. It was right next to
the UV maple plywood and the cut sheets.
Now, finding melamine faced MDF around here is another story . . .
J. Clarke
Well, if you are you are. Won't be the last time you'll wander all over a
Home Depot looking for something that nobody can find.
Wanted a particular kind of Y hose fitting one day. Went into Lowes,
everybody I asked referred me to a different department, finally the manager
told me that they didn't have such a thing. So I went out to the car,
cranked up my laptop, ordered it online from that store, had lunch, went
back after lunch, and they had it waiting for me.

Seems to be a discontinued SKU. How old is your Worksite CD?

Reference original post above -- what further clarification is needed?
Doug Miller
Perfect, just what I wanted. Thanks. Now I don't need to find an employee who
knows what the stuff is, I just need to find one who can look up an SKU and
place an order. :-)

Well, I just updated the current prices and it is still listed. The Worksite
CD is store specific, so perhaps the melamine is available in some areas?

That crap is 80 gram melamine at best.
Buy the 120 gram from a distributor. Direct. Cheaper, better, and 49 x
97.

None that I can think of. But then that was made abundantly clear yesterday.
Thanks though for making me feel even more like a dipshit than I already do. :)

Don't feel like a dipshit. That is my job i here. We are surrounded by
a multitude of diverse talent. There is never just one answer. just a
whole smorgasbord of opinions. They are all wrong. I am the only one
that is ever right.
Now, what was your question?

(in article <o7wvl.9690$%54....@nlpi070.nbdc.sbc.com>):
I haven't seen the full sheets for a while at the local box stores (Abq NM
area), but I recently bought a few sheets at the local HW supplier ($27/sheet
for white 3/4")
