what would be the best way of sealing it bearing in mind its chipboard
basically mfc with out the coating on

any suggestions appreciated

PVA glue or water based paint? PVA is safe, goes on white but dries clear and gives a waterproof non toxic finish

Good job you pointed that out. I didn't notice the date either and was just about to post some advice .

i only spotted it as the title said 'flooring grade chipboard' and then the post they quoted also said 'chipboard', so i went back to see if there was something missing.

I've just used a load of the 18mm thick high density chipboard loftboards for my bosc's viv. They're tongue and groove fit. If/when he needs it extending from 6ft I'll only need to go get another 2 packs of boards to add an extra couple of feet to it. Sorted .
