Preparation and fixing
MDF machines and cuts cleanly with sharp tools. Sand all edges and surfaces after cutting to remove dust and splinters, and to prepare for finishing. Seal cut edges with primer or edge sealer before painting or veneering to prevent moisture absorption. Support sheets adequately during transport and storage to prevent warping. Allow the material to acclimatise to site conditions for 48 hours before installation.
