PRIMING MDF


is it ok to use standard primer on mdf?

i`ve used DULUX DIFFICULT SURFACE PRIMER , but find it very thick and hard to work with.

cheers rosa

No Rosa, It is infinatelly better to use an MDF primer on MDF as it is such a porous surface and if not prepared correctly the paint will peel off in no time. See our project on priming MDF we have some in there.

Hi

We do now have a project page all about priming MDF including how to prepare and paint it: https://www.diydoctor.org.uk/projects/mdf.htm
