MDF finishing advice
 

A thin coating of contact cement followed by another thin coating of veneer
hardwood would do it.

I have tried many things to plug up the raw surface of routed or
worked MDF panels. The material is easy to work other than the
dust. It is the finishing that drives me nuts,

I have used:
drywall compound
acrylic wood filler
shellac
water based urethane
oil based urethane
latex paint
multiple coats of primer
55 coats of spray paint

I have yet to find a material or method that I consider fool
proof, easy, quick - I can't even say to pick any two.

Advice on method, material, and application would be appreciated.

Or... one could simply go out and buy something more substantial than
termite **** and cardboard.

The stuff is strong and real stable but damn heavy...too heavy

Tough to beat if flat, stable, and low cost are part of your
requirements.
