I have used 1/2" Mdf to build boxes and built in cupboards around the main

The question is Can I use ordinary drywall compound and techniques to blend
these boxes
into the standard drywall walls ?

It looks like I could, because I have slopped a bit of drywall compound in a
few spots on the MDF,

and it seems to sand and blend ok

Thanks for any opinions

I just did it recently in my basement with closets. I didn't notice any
moisture issues with the MDF. I used store bought pre-mixed compound
and thinly applied the compound in two stages.
