Best Substrate For P-lam Countertop

C.C.R.

What do you think is a better substrate for p-lam countertop fabrication? MDF or particle board? Both 3/4" doubled up on edges.
Now I can't stand p-lam with all the new surfaces available today but what the customer wants, the customer gets. By the way these counter tops are going in a brand new log home.

It's short for Plastic laminate (on countertops) and yes it's a sin especialy in a brand new log home. But the customer is more interested in saving a buck than having a quality home. I'll try to download a picture of what he finds acceptable from his framer.

The last one we did was on plywood specifically used for laminate countertops. No doubt it is more expensive than MDF or paticle board, but it was for a home for abandon kids and I have seen how they teach them to clean. Its called the "spash as much water as you can everywhere method."

I just use MDF.
