Would it make more sense to really thin the first coat of primer, so it will
soak into the wood? I'd follow this with a coat of normal primer.

Primer/sealer FIRST. Then look around for epoxy paint (first choice) or
porch paint (oil enamel) 2nd choice.

I have some raw MDF shelving that I'd like to paint. The shelving might be
subjected to some heavy/sharp items or oily items, so I need something
that is durable and won't bubble up when oil is spilled on it.
