Jan 18, 2018 at 7:47 comment added Ken The problem is that kind of resin and the liquidity of the varnish as there are other components - thinners and solvents - so when thinking about liquidity and how easily it is to be absorbed by the chipboard - like water. This is the real issue - what will the chip board most likely NOT absorb. A Plastic resin or acrylic will be too thick to be readily absorbed by the chip board. You could check out Rust Oleums Water Proofing Sealer (acrylic) , Flex Seal or even wood glue. (Keep in mind some bugs are attracted to certain glues..)
Jan 18, 2018 at 7:37 comment added Ratler @Ken, I thought normal varnish was based on a type of resin.
Jan 18, 2018 at 7:10 comment added Ken The problem with chip board is moisture - moisture it swells. You might try a resin based product to seal it. For example and acrylic or an epoxy compound. Acrylic is used for remodeling old counter tops and perhaps that material might help you the best, as it will not be so much absorbed by the chip board but rather seal it and form a barrier.
