I bought an MDF MFT top from Ebay a year or so ago. It has been used a fair bit, but for some reason is now not flat by some margin. The reasons are likely a combination of being stored stood up (leant against something at an angle), possibly moisture from being in an unheated garage over time and possibly because there are a number of cuts into it, predominantly into one side. It owes me nothing so it isn't a moan.
I am going to buy a replacement, but I want to buy the right thing and try to extend its life as much as possible.
I currently use it across 2 pieces of CLS timber which slot into 2 saw horses. The restrictions are that I need something that I can use in the workshop or outside (moveable), and can be stored.
Would ply be more stable than MDF?
Would screwing it to a frame help? (either CLS or 4020 profile)
Any other suggestions?
