Hello,
I have just bought a load of ready primed MDF skirting. Having lightly rubbed them down, I'm planning on putting on another coat of primer, followed by an undercoat and satin topcoat(s).
As several people have pointed out MDF furs up a little once the paint is applied. Because of this I'm thinking I should give the skirtings a light rub down between each coat of primer, undercoat and topcoat to keep it smooth.
My question is: How long do I have to wait before the paint will be hard enough to rub down without tearing?
Many thanks!
