Rubbermade contact paper. It's cheap and you would only have to do the roof of the shelf. Plywood is so pourous, that it takes a lot of sealer to fill the cracks and it definatley soaks up a lot in the process. Normally it takes about 5-6 coats just to get it semi-smooth. As Jason stated, plastic and melamine work the best are really aren't that much more expensive. A 49 x 97 sheet of melamine is only $28 at Home Depot. It's heavy, but I've got racks that I made 10 years ago that are still looking great.......even after all of the moving. lol. Getting ready for it again. Good luck and nice work.
