Thanks dingbat.

I was considering trying Screwfix's product. It certainly can't be worse
than the International stuff.

You can get Zinsser B-I-N in the UK, so I've sent them an email asking about
suitability.

I've previously also tried spray cans of automotive primer (Halfords), but
it's just absorbed by the MDF and doesn't actually do anything useful.

Sploo.

Screwfix's MDF primer is OK and cheap. I've never been impressed with
International's paint products.

Stick with MDF primers though. If you use something inappropriate and
water based then it raises fibres on the surface and you'll never get
it smooth again.
