Default Tips for painting cabinet doors (MDF)

if you're gonna do that why not just mill it from a sheet?


Milled sheets have rounded corners in the "panel", like the
"Thermofoil" doors sold in BORGs.

Rail & stile glued to a panel, can look just like a "real" door.
Since the panel dosen't need to float, the whole assembly actually
ends up quite strong. This is important if trying to match an
existing style, and they look more like higher end doors at trailer
park prices. G

If I'm painting doors, I prefer maple or birch, but some folks have
really tight budgets. G
