Sealing MDF wood under sink
ferry
Posts: 2,017 Forumite
OK, I know it's not ideal but I've made a small storage cabinet under our downstairs cloakroom sink from pine wood and MDF.
Not really a wet area as such but being situated under the sink I'm a bit lost on how to paint it to seal it from any water spillage.
Will a standard undercoat with kitchen bathroom top coat do?
Cheers

No. Kitchen/bathroom paint is water based, not oil based. You would need to use an oil based undercoat and an oil based gloss /satinwood. Or use 2 coats of an oil based varnish.Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.0
