   Just to be clear, are you building a box out of Melamine faced particle board that you want to then cover with the oak plywood?

   Hi chalky,

   I think you would be better off making the whole thing from 3/4 oak ply. Your exposed parts will already be oak and you will keep the weight down considerably.

   The weight and the cost would both probably be lower. There are not a whole lot of things on earth heavier than melamine and the cost of the melamine plus the 1/4 Oak ply would likely exceed the cost of 3/4 oak ply.

   Good luck!

     Hi Chalky ,

                    It's never too late ,,,  there most certainly is glue formulated to glue Melamine . The best known brand name I know of is called Roo Glue .

       It will bond Melamine to Melamine , plywood to Melamine or wood to Melamine or even wood to wood . It dries mostly clear .

        For  future projects of this nature there is a product made that has Oak veneer on one side and Melamine on the other side .

      Any cabinet material supplier should have the glue  as well as cabinet hardware suppliers and possibly anyplace that sells Melamine may have it as well .
