I am still working on my workbenches/shop cabinets, but I am getting closer to being done. See this thread http://www.bt3central.com/showthread.php?t=35943 The workbench top is made of two layers of MDF and the benches will be used for all types of projects. I see using them for greasy car repair to home projects to wood working projects, so I want to make the MDF as durable and stain resistant as possible.
I was thinking of protecting the MDF tops with an oil base polyurethane, but I could also paint it with deck paint, or ??? The cabinets are made of pine and will likely remain natural with no finish on them. What do you think would work best?
Just for the fun of it, I looked into the epoxy coating that is used on bar tops, but it's just a bit out of my price range. It would cost between $200 and $300 to coat my three workbench tops!
