I am on the was on the health and safety committee at my work and particle boards are not allowed in our wood shop due to the heath issues associated with them same for MDF. Particle boards are usually sealed in furniture so it I assumed most build racks seal it up too. I suck at the iron one edging. I never get it straight and it never seems to stick. I can buy formaldehyde free particle board but I have yet to see melamine on particleboard substrate that is. I have not been checking in the last few years however.

Thats weird, Ive never encountered any problems. I mean honestly how much does edge banding really seal it anyhow? Never heard of this being an issue with any breeder.

Great build, thanks for sharing!

I have heard of sealing the exposed particle board to prevent warping from humidity. Never heard about the outgassinf issues, sounds scary though. :/

Good looking rack and well form post , thx for the write up .

Do you have a cost breakdown for this project?

Hard to say if there is an issue at all it is an issue with people over long term exposure thats all i know.

I think it came down to about $250 per 24 tub rack. it was about $500 for both that we built. When we build our next one Im going to do a more in depth guide and I will also do a price breakdown.

That's $250 for the rack only, not the tubs or heat, right?
