Melamine Usage Tips! Cutting, Drilling and Edge Banding (Fixit Fingers Fiver)

#Melamine particle boards can be found in almost every home. If you have a kitchen, laundry, closet, wardrobe or bathroom #DIY renovation or repair to do, chances are your cabinetry will have melamine shelves at least.

In this Fixit Fingers Fiver, I'll take you through some #woodworking tips and tricks on how to work with this plastic-coated board, as cutting and drilling melamine without chipping out can be tricky. Usually, you'll also need to know how to apply iron on edge banding to get a good looking finish. Most of the tools and products I mention in the video are listed below as affiliate links that help support the channel.
