You have not wasted your money. Usually chipboard is unfinished on the edges, sides, backs and bottoms. According to the AFM Hardseal spec sheet... USE ON: Typically used on previously uncoated and unsealed woodwork, cabinetry, or porous tile. To prevent outgassing of previously coated surfaces, can also be applied over existing paints, stain and colorfast wallpaper. When applying to a previously coated surface test in inconspicuous places for satisfactory appearance. Correct application will slightly deepen color of existing surface. Sometimes AFM Hardseal is confused with AFM Safeseal. They both seal in off-gassing but the Hardseal dries hard and clear and the Safeseal is more penetrating and does not produce a hard clear coating.
