Hi All

Having problems with putting screws into the edge of 18mm MDF.

I've tried correct size pilot holes and special MDF screws from SPAX
but I still get splitting and a slight bulge where the screw is.

Special MDF screws are best (or least worse) but still noticeable.

Any tips?

If its possible clamp 2 pieces of wood either side of the MDF where the
screw/s are being inserted.
