That's an interesting suggestion, for sure. If this were a high-cost project, then I would do it. Please keep in mind that these doors are to be used as table surfaces, and not used as the typical door. Also, these rubberwood doors, the way they are fabricated, they are extremely strong, and extremely heavy. The weight of these doors is an advantage because the weight minimizes vibration, something to be avoided in a computer table with several computers on top. (Speaking of humidity and warped doors, you are correct, and during the raining season that is a problem here, as well.)

Thank you. However, to clarify, I am trying to just make this as simple and quick as possible. The doors themselves are fairly well prepared for application of some material, as is, or as they are sold. Also, these are not to be used as fine furniture, but only as desk spaces where keyboards, PCs, printers, speakers, etc. will be placed and moved around. The only crucial aspect is that the wood needs to be protected from both oil, such as food oil, and from hot water, as from dripping hot water from tea kettles, and from standing water, as in from condensation of iced tea glasses which might sit on the surfaces for 24 hours, maybe. No high-gloss finish is required. Protection of the wood surface is enough. However, what kind of "stuff" should be used. What is best/available in CM? Obviously it will be a synthetic coating painted on. What "stuff" would be most resilient to oil/water/perhaps soap, and dishwashing detergent, but no harsh cleansers. No primer is to be used. Just one kind of "stuff", painted on with enough applications to do what is called for. Thank you. Note: I was at the same supplier a couple of years ago. That supplier has MANY different kinds of clear coatings, or other stuff, to choose from, and the guys at the store just said that ALL are possible. All are OK... Maybe so, but which might be best...in case anyone else has already done the same work many times in the past...

OK. That's fine. However, I would like to point out that these doors need no sanding or prepping before application of whatever material is chosen. And, just out of curiosity, did anyone ever teach you how to do a proper citation of work that you wish to reference? At the very least, do you happen to have a link/url?

Would it be too much trouble to ask you to cite your reference? Thank you.

I am a fan of the team that does her music videos. Some of the production on the videos seems outstanding to me, although I am definitely not an expert. I was blown away by the colors in the video linked in the OP. To me, it seems to have a 1950s Florida vibe to it. I have been impressed by a few of her other videos, as well. And, to top it all off... Madonna was taken with some of her work, too. Madonna? Yeah, I can dig her, too. Anyone with talent is OK. I do not care so much about if something might not be age appropriate for me. But, Vivaldi is better than Perry, IMHO.

Hi Guys, In case you might not know, most plywood wholesalers sell these unfinished-wood doors. They are excellent for making large desk spaces and table surfaces for desktop-PCs, scanners, multiple computer displays; and maybe even as kitchen surfaces for ovens, bread machines, slow cookers, etc. The sizes of these unfinished doors seem to range from 70x80 up to 100x200 cm. My question is: What might be the recommended way to treat the wood door surface using some sort of easy-to-paint-on material that could protect the wood from becoming stained and discolored due to contact with cooking oils, water (hot/cold), or anything else that one might normally find in a kitchen. The material needs to be: Easy to paint onto the wood surface, and to air dry within a reasonable amount of time. Two coats of material is acceptable. But three would be too time consuming. Must be fairly clear so that the wood is somewhat darker but..the woodgrain of the plywood is still easily visible and even enhanced by the surface treatment. The material needs to be purchased in CM, preferably near or at the wholesaler that sells the wood doors. Note: These doors are quite heavy. Whether they are rubberwood and not actually partially luan wood structure, I am not sure. (But these doors are definitely NOT hollow, and they weigh a ton!) The doors, in my view, are very low cost for what you get. Does anyone have good experience with a paint-on material that might work on these doors (several of them)? Thanks much!!! Best regards… Note: I really have no experience using whatever might be available in CM…

I see you have become acquainted with my good friend, Bard I would know his writing,... Anywhere.. But, still, thank you for your time and effort. And, thank Bard for me, too!

Did you, in one of your earlier comments, neglect to mention the Escapist Pseudointellectual?

Understanding irony is not my strong suit. I am, after all, an American...

Ask the same question. Get the same answer. No... There is no normal. We know there is no normal. You, too, should have known, before you asked the question for the second time, that... There is no normal.

One need not be all three, simultaneously, of course. How fortunate.

Yes. Thank you. I already know about them from photos and videos. Hot Stuff!

Wow. Probably the first good insight on this thread. I am happy to know that there is one person here who understands me. And, correct again, there is all the difference in the world. Compatibility is crucial for any lasting relationship. Otherwise, life, and life together, gets boring.

To My TV-Fellow-Perry Fans: I know you love her, but what do you love the MOSTEST about Katy? There is so much to love, and I don't just mean her music. I am talking the dynamite Music Videos, and I can only guess how much was spent on each one. In fact, I would say that very few other Music Videos, or any video productions, can even come close. OK, well I do not want to tell you all of the things I love about Katy, because I have already mentioned a few things... And, I want to first learn your thoughts before I spoil things with too many SPOILERS. Let me just give you one teeny tiny TASTE of Perry's Tune... THIS IS HOW WE DO! And then, I want to know your honest opinions. How old were you when you first heard Katy? Did she make you feel like it was your very first time? Well...I know... That's just how I was feeling, too... The first time Katy sang to me. Here goes....(and please don't forget to comment. (Commenting here improves both my ratings and my self-esteem.)) Let's...LOVE HER!, Gamma Please Note: This TOPIC is only about her great music, her video production, and her talent as an artist. AND...I really get bored talking about someone's personal life, even my own.

Perhaps....

That's what I like to see! A poster replying to his own post! And I thought I was the only one who loved doing this. Thank you!!!!

Well, one thing my dental nurse knows is that I sometimes succumb to white-coat syndrome. She's a sweetie, though, and she is as kind, thoughtful and empathetic as they come. The world needs more of her type, and, yes, she is a genuine Thai, but probably not a genius Thai.

Well, you see, I could not very well post a photo of a "genuine/genius Thai" girl here, for fear of embarrassment to her and those who know her. Therefore, I decided that my only safe option would be to choose a genius girl who happened to be masked when the image was captured. In addition, having a photo of a masked girl symbolizes my respect for inner beauty far more than outward physical appearance. And finally, I did not want to be criticized here for the objectification of women, something that I know is so often frowned upon.

I once knew someone who attended Princeton, I think. Studying passa Thai, was he. ANKI became his favorite app, Until it was not. Princeton is one beautiful town, and that is a fact.

You seem to be a man after my own heart, completely. We all recall the myth of the No Dogs and No Chinese sign which actually did not stand in a Shanghai park. Unfortunately, our boy Bob might wish to create his own sign to hang around his neck, or in the coffee shop of his choice. That ups to him, of course. Meanwhile, here is a sign posted at a shop in China, I think. Unfortunately, if Bob can read Chinese, he might see that .... Oh Wait! No dogs allowed here, too? Tough luck, I guess....

No. But, any women's perfume worth wearing is very costly. I can only assume it's the same for men's cologne and aftershave. Would you say that wearing perfume and cologne is becoming less in vogue among the 20s to 30s generation? Or, is it becoming more fashionable?

I very much enjoy essential oils of many kinds. There isn't one kind of perfume I can abide for long. No doubt that I am not unique in my distaste.

You see, my friend, and I know we are quickly becoming friends.... We are not talking here about snobbishness. Rather we are only discussing matters involving taste preferences. Some guys enjoy Vivaldi (especially this one): While others come to Thailand to see Women's Mud Wrestling: Anyway, I never pretended to be any sort of Red-Neck Hillbilly on this forum. What did you expect?

You are saying I might be snobbish, yet not wifty. I will take that as a compliment, then.

Alcohol? On my skin?! That's not where it belongs! When I was very, very young, and at boarding school, my roommate used Jade East. After that... You Gotta Be Kidding me... I just use soap, both for shaving, and for showering. I will admit though that I cannot find high-quality soap where I am. Maybe I should make my own, or something.
