I came into possession of a huge work table that is not flat and would like to flatten it. It is too much work to rebuild it; it is built into a corner. The top is linoleum covered and is close to flat but not close enough. This was an upholstery shop work table. I was thinking of buttering up a 4x8 3/4" piece of MDF with Great Stuff and plopping on the table with some wieghts. Anybody try this before? Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks Huck
I think the problem is that your MDF may tend to follow the contour of the existing top and end up just as uneven. I think adding a new top from something like MDF is on the right track but I'd look at using some shims from wood, paper or cardboard to help get it flat.
