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?
Don't screw into the end grain - either use glue with proper cut joints
or dowels, or metal plates or wooden battens with screws.
