I'm really enjoying this forum. I think it's success is a direct result of the generosity and good humour of the contributors so, thanks to all.
Here's my question - Can I get away with a water based primer on MDF before an opaque paint top coat? I know mdf doesn't like water very much and it will make it blister and swell. I've heard I should use a shellac based primer - VERY stinky and I don't want to use it indoors as, since its winter, I'll be doing it in my kitchen. Even an oil based primer would be better than the shellac one.
Any advice?
