Incredible Corals July 15, 2011 July 15, 2011 I want to skin my new tanks stand with high gloss white wood paneling. Anyone know where I can buy the paneling or how to make my own? This is what I want it to look like
CaptainRon July 17, 2011 July 17, 2011 I think I could round up a pallet or two for the bottom part. How many do you want? :D

Incredible Corals July 18, 2011 Author July 18, 2011 Ikea has very high gloss white paneling. I was just there I didnt see any large panels. Do they sell panels that are 32x28 or bigger?
Incredible Corals July 18, 2011 Author July 18, 2011 http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx?itemid=23681 Maybe? It says the white isn't opaque. I don't want anything that light can pass through.
FearTheTerps July 18, 2011 July 18, 2011 What about making your own, paint and clear coat? That should give a high gloss finish.
BowieReefer84 July 18, 2011 July 18, 2011 (edited) http://www.eplastics...4470-060PM24X96 Product #7508 says only 4% transmittance. That would be solid more or less... It says the thicker the less transmittance for white sheets. I would not try to make anything high gloss. Avoiding runs, and keeping it "smooth" would be very hard. EDIT - http://www.eplastics.com/Plastic/Plexiglass_Acrylic_Sheet_Black_and_White/SAMPLE-ACRYWHITE for $5 get a sample... Edited July 18, 2011 by BowieReefer84
Incredible Corals July 18, 2011 Author July 18, 2011 Thanks nice find. I'll preserve sample. It looks like they can make all the cuts for me too.
OldReefer July 18, 2011 July 18, 2011 Kitchen laminate over MDF would work. It is easier than you would think to get a nice look if you have a router to trim it.
bankyf July 18, 2011 July 18, 2011 The acrylic could also be painted on the back or covered with vinyl to block all light.
Incredible Corals July 18, 2011 Author July 18, 2011 I have these guys sending me a sample of the white. http://www.artdecogroup.com/index.php/MDF-Boards/
