Don't want to burst your bubble, but you can't get there from here.

Doesn't make any difference how you try to seal the MDF, my guess is that
it will take about 6 months before the MDF starts swelling from water
splash and high humidity in the bath room.

If you want an oak shelf, try oak veneer over a plywood core.

thanks for the advice. as a matter of interest can this adhesive be used
as a sealer generally?

Talk to sign makers who do out-door stuff. They have tricks they use
to seal MDF.
