If this deterioration is from heat, there might not be enough air gap between the oven and the benchtop. May be overcoated with Resene Qristal Clear Polyurethane, Resene Poly-Flat, Resene Poly-Satin and Resene Poly-Gloss (see Data Sheet D52). Understanding best practices for cutting, fastening, finishing and reinforcing chipboard enables it to be worked with efficiently.
