...I've done stain-grade mitered corners before, with solid wood, of course...heh. I am now involved with a mantle/hearth project that is going to be coated with a composit varnish (white) that I've used before on smaller solid wood items (properly applied, it'll help small imperfections to disappear. Any advice on material for this endeavor? I'm thinking paint-grade ply, moldings and bondo...has anyone tried MDF or related materials?...thoughts?
