I have tried many things to plug up the raw surface of routed or worked MDF panels. The material is easy to work other than the dust. It is the finishing that drives me nuts,
I have used: drywall compound acrylic wood filler shellac water based urethane oil based urethane latex paint multiple coats of primer
55 coats of spray paintI have yet to find a material or method that I consider fool proof, easy, quick - I can't even say to pick any two.
Advice on method, material, and application would be appreciated.
