Hi all,
I hope this is in the right section.
I am in the process of making something out of mdf, and I got some primer (international MDF primer made by akzo nobel), I tested a bit on a spare piece of mdf and its THICK, and there is no way on earth I can get it on smooth, its about the thickness of gravy. It says to give 2 coats with a ligh sanding inbetween, but by my reckonings its going to need more than a light sanding by any stretch of imagination.
The project I am doing requires several pieces of mdf to be screwed/glued together, should I paint all these first or assemble it all then paint it - the problem with this is that I wont be able to get into the corners and such to sand, but if I paint it first then theres a chance of the finish geting damaged whilst assembling.
Any suggestions most welcome!
Thanks
