To be quite honest I don't like using the horrible dusty stuff but can't deny it's cheap and stable.
I recently had to make up some radiator cabinets/covers and MDF seemed the natural choice. They were to have a paint finish.
All the tools I used were TCT and sharp.
I sanded all the cut edges, including those put through the router and applied some so called "dedicated" MDF primer but no matter how much I tried I could not get a smooth edge that I was happy with.
I've been wondering whether a couple of coats of sanding sealer, before applying the primer may help but I dont work with the stuff often enough to experiment. So it's over to you guys (and girls) for advice.
I've also considered a few coats of button polish - but it's all stuff still in me brain and not tested.
Any advice most gratefully recieved.
Have a good day
