You can't "waterproof" it.

It is already water resistant though

Definately waterproofed.

Why would you?
Melamine isn't exactly the best looking

AHH maybe because someone wanted to keep reptiles in the enclosure with more water or moisture than for most species and didn't want the Melamine to swell up and become damaged after spending all that money???? Waterproofing protects it further:shock:

Why don't you stop posting crap and stop having a go at what other's post.:lol::lol::lol::lol:

Melamine look's fantastic, that is why Ten's of Millions of Kitchens, Cabinet's,Pantry's and Laundry cupboards are manufactured and installed in properties across the world, Or maybe THEY all have it WRONG and YOUR RIGHT, it isn't exactly the best looking:?

Use wet area silicon as aglue to coat the edge of the melomine all through the joint

i use no more gaps then paint over it with a white gloss acrylic as it is easier to wipe down.

what type of no more gaps do you use? you just put it in between the two bits of melamine as you stick em together right?
