Abstract:
A process for reforming a planar pre-finished medium density fiber (MDF) board, said process comprising the steps of:applying at least one pigment layer over the medium density fiber board, applying at least one protective top layer over the at least one pigment layer to pre-finish at least one surface of the medium density fiber board, placing the planar pre-finished medium density fiber board in a heated press mold; closing the heated press mold while the pre-finished medium density fiber board is located therein; applying pressure and heat to the pre-finished medium density fiber board using said heated press mold so that said at least one pre-finished surface is reformed without cracking bubbling, or removal of said at least one coating; opening the heated press mold; and removing the pre-finished medium density fiber board from the heated press mold.
