Does anyone have experience with hardboard (pressboard)/ Masonite siding? This is prevalent in the area where I am looking to buy a house and I am interested to see what homeowners have to say about it. My realtor says that there is high maintenance upkeep but it seems that 99% of houses in my budget have this siding so I was wondering if it was worth it.
Hey Ottawa,
I have some old IKEA furniture made of pressboard that has already been taken apart & I'm looking to offload it. I've been to Habitat ReStore, Value Village and Lowes but none have wanted to take it (not unreasonably in my opinion, but I need this stuff gone).
I'm hoping to find a way to recycle this stuff instead of trash it, but do I have any other options? Does anyone know a place in the area that would be happy to reuse a pile of pressboard in alright condition?
I really love the old-school look of pressboard covers, like on 40's training manuals. I see pressboard used for file folders and report covers, but don't know where to source full sheets. Any help?
My tenant ripped the kitchen door off it's cabinet hinge (hinge is still attached to the door). Is there an good way to repair the cabinet so the hinge will be secure again with this material? I'm wondering if some PL Premium adhesive is the best bet. If so, would I just adhere the broken piece back in, or would I also throw some in the screw holes before putting the hinge back in?

(edit - ugh - let me fix my typo in the title please)
We bought a house in New England that unfortunately has pressboard siding. While most of the exterior looks fine, one section of the siding clearly has moisture damage https://imgur.com/IG3MFpL.
- Is there anything we can do to remediate the problem or is it time to redo all of the siding (and if so, what products do you recommend?)
- If it is possible for us to fix this problem, what should we do and is there anything else we can do to prevent more damage besides repainting or resealing?
We are working from a dearth of knowledge here so any information is greatly appreciated.
Any publishers here that use Pressboard? What has been your experience so far? How is the support / performance?

Ive been told this is pressboard and it can't be sanded because its too hollow or that the particles will not hold once you strip away the outer layer. On the other hand, I've been told I can sand and paint. Im a novice and am confused. TIA

i'm been scrounging through craigslist last couple of days looking for a actual 100% wood dresser. but everytime i think i find something good and ask for a shot of the back panel, it's MDF or something like 90% of the time. is it ok to buy these if i want my dresser to hold up for like 20-30 years?
Is it wise to use a blowtorch? Or am I going to mess up the glues?
