A high gloss laminated panel is manufactured by applying a layer of a resin composition on a substrate layer and applying elevated pressure at elevated temperature for a time sufficient to at least partially cure the resin preferably without back-cooling. The resin composition includes a melamine formaldehyde resin in water and further includes one or more additives chosen from the group of thiourea, 1-amino-2-thiourea, stabilized guanidine, thio-acetamide, or an additive. |
