rubus Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Hi folks, just wondering the best finish for a hardboard worktable. Would a paste wax work so glue does not stick to it? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..Kev Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 I put a coat of poly on mine and it works good.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brendon_t Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 I also have a hardboard "sleeve" I drop over my work bench for glue ups. After the first time, I gave it a thick coat of poly. Dotted glue comes off with a fingernail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 I just refurbished the 1/4" MDF that I cover my tablesaws and outfeed tables with when I spray. I used a waterbourne acrylic finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oceandragon Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Seems like alot of fuss over something that is ment to be replaced, in truth whenever im done finishing a project, something like a blo/var mix.. I just use the excess on the HB top as i go along, seems to work so far and before then I fig it would get dinged up hammered and stab on occasion with chisels, spilled stain or finish.. I wouldnt worry about it too much. I personaly like a blo mix, maybe sand it with 80 grit before you apply something to avoid being a slick surface. I believe the Schwarz said something like that about his workbench tops as he didnt want to create something that his work slides around on. This is of coarse assuming that you HB is for your workbench and nothing something like a outfeed table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
