okay I have a question or two about mdf or particle board.
Can I use a fiberglass resin to make the particle board stronger.
Can I veener over the particle board after the resin dries.Thanks mike
Why bother? Start with a good quality plywood instead. Adding resin and then
veneering seems like an expensive way to go, as well as time consuming.

The resin only adds hardness and surface durability - not strength. You
would need to use the fiberglass cloth + resin to add strength. And as
Charlie said - why bother? Hard to be the strength of a good grade of
plywood. It's strength comes from it being made in plies with the grain of
each layer 90 deg from the adjacent layer. A sheet of plywood is also
flexible - adding to its strength, making it difficult to snap in two. That
flexibility needs to be braced in order to make whatever it is you're making
more rigid.
Tell us a bit more about what you're application and maybe we can help some
more.
