	title of this thread your message Actually you do not have to reach the phenolic layers. First of all a large percentage of both the coloured melamine formaldehyde top layer and the phenolic formaldehyde support layers are plain paper, white cellulose for the top, craft in the support layer. To sand down the top layer (if it is glossy it is almost pure melamine formaldehyde) is a good idea, but you do not have to go further. Both the cohesion (very low) and adhesion with both materials are similar. The resistance to wear depends on the quality of the paint, not on the adhesion, which is quite good. Make sure you do not leave any dust after sanding and always use a dust mask when you sand melamine. With 4-5 high qualified advisers on this one counter, this is not a low budget project anymore... associated web images (optional) associated web link (optional) your email your password create a forums account \| you forgot your password?
