Hello all,
The kitchen counter top in the house I'm renting is crumbling and dropping =
into the lower cabinets and drawers. It's not something that can be replac=
ed right now so I was considering applying a thin coat of thin viscosity ep=
oxy to help fortify the particle board. Any opinions?
Thanks,=20

inquire, quietly, at your local housing authority to see if they think
that it's a health issue or if it violates some other code.
If it does, and you explain it nicely to the landlord, it would be
very tough for him not to take steps to resolve the issue.
I'm not suggesting a fight, I'm just suggesting that you see if you
can get some leverage, up front. "I hate to bother you, but I did some
research and ..."

If you aren't talking structural integrity even paint would stop the crumbl=
e so painting on epoxy should be even better.

How much surface area is crumbling? I'd use Minwax wood hardener.

You are renting, happen to have a landlord or a superintendent?

Sounds like a land lord problem. Get him to come up with a solution.
