How Do You Finish Chipboard Flooring

Acrylic works the best because heavy water or oil-based paints will soak into the chipboard. This will make your board look uneven. You shouldn’t have to use more than two to three layers of paint for optimal coverage. After you finish painting, seal it with a coat of clear sealant.

What can I use to seal chipboard?

Apply a layer of clear acrylic sealant on all the edges of the particle board pieces. You should also apply a layer to any areas that may be exposed to moisture. To do this, you need to shake the clear acrylic sealant can, open the lid, and then paint the sealant onto the particle board using a paintbrush.

How do you prime a chipboard?

1. A water-based primer will seep into the particle board and cause it to swell up. Always use an oil-based or solvent-based primer when painting particle boards.
2. Oil-based primer should be available at your local hardware store.
