First off,nice doors!!! Second,how do You finish The MDF doors?

Hi Wood Dog

Thanks

The norm is paint them,, they don't take stain well, you can use clear coat but it will look blotchy plus the cut from the router bit is like seeing the end grain on normal wood...it's hard to seal....

I've always had pretty good luck sealing edges of MDF with sandable primer.
Just saw another idea in Workbench mag.
- mix thin plain white glue with water 1:1
- spread with foam brush
- when dry (about an hour) sand with 180 grit
Haven't tried it yet -- but it sounds interesting.

And yes-- all of this assumes you are painting - not staining.

Hi Cowboy

THanks I will give that a try next time I do some more doors and frames ,,I don't seal MDF the norm just a light sanding and the 2 or 3 coats of spray paint does the job the norm...I use Latex Enamel because it easy to clean up...
