If you figure it out, do post an update - I want a surface between 4 and 8mm thick to attach to my desk with magnets so I can bury some stuff inside it. But the kicker is I want it to be wipeable for coffee spills and also double as a mouse surface.
So far I'm looking at valchromat and xylocleaf but the latter is tricky to get thin enough and the former I worry has a texture too much like sugar paper and won't wipe well or be useful as a mouse pad alternative.

What about laminating a sheet like all the cool YouTubers are doing with their workbenches and mitre stations?
That way you can put it on top of whatever sheet works best for you other criteria. I feel like MR MDF would have a better weight to it and having a perfectly smooth side down would give a vacuum effect and keep it flat.
Been looking at options for desk tops for our study. Need a few and various sizes, would rather they match. Cut to size Egger MFC is one option, a little spendy, I'm wondering if phenolic ply would be a nice surface to work on? Never seen the stuff IRL so hard to judge. Any opinions here?
