As an aside anyone suffering from cold feet (in a cold shed😁) for a couple of years now ive had to resort to wearing crocs due to foot damage from wearing leather soled boots most of my life I wear the crocs all the time inc for work no socks water/ snow etc and feet stay warm as toast lads at...

We use quite a lot of mdf for bespoke painted kitchens/furniture etc and over the last 12 months have switched to hidrofugo but to be honest the jury is out on its benefits When its good its very good but random packs thicknesses will for painting purposes be worse than cheap mdf As a rule...

We have a luton for delivering our furniture / units etc and we screw everything to the floor/ siderails and or each other

Yeah looks like se re on the same path as a rule we dont have too many issues luckily and we do have an insulated cabinet we store stuff in to keep material at similar humidity levels to end useage Most of our painted work is in frame shaker 25mm styles/rails sandwich core mdf with 9mm centre panel

Ha funny you say that we make both 22 and 18mm slab doors at times and to be honest we find the whippiness of the 18mm an advantage as the hinges (usually 4/full height door) will keep the doors straight whereas its the 22mm that tends to fight and as you say yes you can feel the door connteri g...

And another this time 2100x600 same 18mm mr with mock mr molding to one side and its bowed although i think with 4 hinges on itll straighten out as the bow doesnt have the tension of the pine

Just as a matter of interest and to show the random nature of the bowing this is a mock up we made a couple of months ago thats just been sat in the workshop its 18mm mr 2200x500 and its stayed dead straight😳

We use mitre glue and activator its slightly baffling as to what the issue is currently 8 500 mm wide tall doors are sfraight and all 4 300+mm doors have bowed all the same materials all built the same day

Striking set of doors there Ian yeah Ive seen those adjusters are they the hafele ones The strange thing is why some doors stay true and others dont when everything is in equilibrium am going to clamp a bowed door flat and add molding to reverse side and see what happens

Hi thanks yes thats the next plan we do have an an insulated cabinet we use to replicate indoor conditions

Yeah we ve tried that previously and its worse because you get more tension the thinner the mdf the more flex you get

Hi , new to the forum thanks for the the approval , initially looking for advice but hope to be able to contribute aswell! We need to build some wardrobes for a client , the doors will be 18mm mr mdf roughly 1800 x350-500mm wide with dado style molding running 100mm in from the edge on 3...
