Guest Mr. Bigglesworth Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 How do you painted MDF? My experience is the primer goes on a little funky. And basic acrylic paint seems to be soaked up requiring more layers. This is my experience from one project so I don't know if it was just that batch. Secondly is wood glue the best glue to use? And if so is there a recommended wood glue that cures quicker than 12 hours. Asking because I like those user mdf pods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splinx Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 The thicker External Use Wood Glue from hardware stores is a bit more rugged in my opinion. It has a bit more substance and glues well in a couple of hours and not 12. If interested PM me with your email and I'll shoot over a pic of the stuff i use.

Burk Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 I used regular superglue from bob smith. worked fine only issue is it grabs quick so make sure you line up properly. I sprayed mine and they tool alot of primer, but ate that I think they will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks so you suggest a couple layers of primer? Thanks and pics would be nice when done looks like I will be ordering 5 at one point.

KAPcom Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 I used a thin layer of elmers wood glue to assemble em, that seems to dry pretty quickly and gives a good solid hold. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
