MDF belongs to the fiber board family. The plate consists of wood fibers that have been compressed under high pressure. This makes the material easy to machine: the material does not splinter when milling and sawing. The fibers are held together by resin. This means that it is important to thoroughly degrease the material before painting. The material also has an absorbent effect. It is therefore only suitable for indoor applications and in dry conditions: ideal as a basis for a painting (frame)!

The end edges of MDF require some extra work. attention. There are various options to counteract the absorbent effect of the end edges: use diluted wood glue with some water, filler or a special edge sealer. If you want to use MDF as a basis for your painting or picture frame, please keep this in mind.
