   No you will definately have BIG problems. Look for the new waterproof MDF products. They are more than double the price, but will definately last. Extera and Medex are two I know of, my spelling could be wrong though. Also look at MDO, which is a type of plywood.

   Pardon my spelling,

   Make sure that your next project is beyond your skill and requires tools you don't have. You won't regret it.

   I have never seen the MDF products you mention. Although to double the cost of materials would make me no longer competitive cost wise. So I guess that's a different problem. THANKS

   Mike's right on. Try Medex. Used it for paint grade window sills when I used to do finish carpentry. If it's well sealed it should do OK. But don't make a bar top out of it.

   A well done paint job should stand up to a little spilled water now and then. Most paint doesn't need any additional top coat, it may cause problems. A polyurethane enamel will have good water resistance and also mar resistance. Follow the manufacturers instructions.

   Beat it to fit / Paint it to match
