MDF finishing advice
A thin coating of contact cement followed by another thin coating of veneer
hardwood would do it. "DanG" wrote in message ... 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. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DanG Keep the whole world singing . . . |
