Ok, let me back track.

I primed a particle board surface after I removed the adhesive vinyl
and sanded the surface. This is what I got:

The inconsistency is obviously due to me alternating between using the
heat gun and pulling the vinyl off.

Even sanding afterwards didn't help even the surface:

So I tried drywall mud as per advice here, but I still didn't get the
consistent surface and now I might just try priming again before
tryign some latex paint in opes it fills in enough to make the surface
smooth.


At this point, new MDF would likely be your easiest and cheapest
solution, Darren. I think you have leftover adhesive on top of the
peeled particleboard. (A real messy deal.)
