great info! I dont use MDF for several reasons but I learned something new and I might have to consider it for future projects.
Hi guys, the mrmdf is also lower in cfcs and not as harmful, it's also denser and machines so much better. If your going to be painting a project and want a great finish I can't think of anything better to use. 😊
Great tips Karl!
Cheers Grant 😊
Thanks for the tips Karl. That cabinet is looking good
Cheers Martin, install on that one tomorrow 😊let's hope I measured right 😬😄
Great tips video. These kinds of tips often make a big difference. Cheers.
Cheers Ben. Hopefully this has helped a few people 😊
Good tips video mate 👍
Cheers mate, I noticed that was a popular content choice in my poll so I think I'll definitely be making more. 😊
Interesting vid Karl👍 cool!
Cheers Phill 😊
Good stuff Karl, a primer is a must on MDF. Even in the workshop I use one.
Definitely mate 😊
Gr8 vid Karl youve done a better job than some painters i know.Its all in the prep,nice one.
Cheers Steve, ye I agree it's so much simpler to actually paint if you set off on the right foot with the preparation 😊
I had no clue they made moisture resistant MDF sheets. Awesome tip for the week brother 👊🏼
Thanks mate, ye it makes all the difference as well so much better to paint cut everything. 😊
Good video.
Thank you 😊
Top job mate. I'm just about finished my wee work shed and the MDF is every where. Now I don't have to edge band .Happy days 😊😊😊. Thanks for the upload mate .
Awesome Davy, if a shelf is going to get a battering I'd put a pine edge on it about 10 or 15mm but if it's light use it should be fine. 😊 Wouldn't bother with iron on edge banding though, defo.
@@karlpopewoodcraft Never touched the stuff since I ruined the wife's iron lol.
Yes you are right , its the worktop edges that I'm doing but also i have over 20 drawers to do. Cheers mate
@@HEADBANGERINGS 20 drawers 😬😭
This was very helpful, i have been putting off an MDF project because i was not confident on painting the edges, thanks mate. Also, that beard is looking schmiko and I agree with Dainer, i really like it when you say lovely!!!
Haha cheers mate must be an accent 😂 it's like when Mark says Bastard🤣😂
@@karlpopewoodcraft hahahah yeah it's pretty good when he says Bastard! You have an awesome accent mate, I love it!!
Hello Karl,
I also saw that he was very talented in mdf painting. Congratulations. Thank you for sharing. Keep doing good work. I wish you a nice and healthy new week. Great Greetings
Yours sincerely, Mehmet.
Cheers Mehmet, say to you mate. I hope this week is nice. 😊
@@karlpopewoodcraft Cheers my friend. 'll see. everything is OK.
Hi karl the finish looked good on that mdf
Thanks John 😊
First time on the channel, I liked and subscribed, about to build some false columns out of mdf searching on painting and this answered my questions. You through me for a loop when halfway in the video the long sleeve and beanie disappears and a bald tattooed guy showed up! Had to toggle back and forth make sure it was same guy lol. Great info thanks much for your time!
Thanks mate, glad to hear the video has helped in some way. Ps haha took a while for the heater to warm up the workshop that morning 😂
Good tips Karl, I didn't even know you could get moisture resistant MDF, regards Fred
Cheers Fred, ye it's sold at the timber merchant's not diy stores. 😊
Great video Karl! I have done a lot of MDF projects myself (other than trim work with pre-primed MDF) but I am glad to know these tricks! Thanks!
Cheers mate, definitely a lot simpler then lots of folk make out.
The key take away here seems to be "good quality" and I have to agree. Probably the most important bit in my opinion is the MR MDF, it seems to make a huge difference.
Cheers mate, ye 100% agree decent mrmdf decent paint, layland is cracking in my opinion and homebase supply really good quality homebase brand paint. 😊
@@karlpopewoodcraft I could not fin Layland last time and I went with Zinsser (the blue tin primer and the antimould one for the topcoats). Bloody expensive but amazing.
Bit late to the party on this one, that's a really nice colour that you have painted that unit, looks great in place from the Instagram pictures I saw 👍
Thanks James, the customer loved it so that's great. I was waking up at night dreaming about installing it😴😂
Great tips Karl, how about spray paint that’s acrylic?, would possibly be quicker perhaps however you made this piece of furniture shine 🍺👍👍👍
Hi Dirk, I'd definitely like to use an air sprayer and compressor, that can leave a beautiful finish. I definitely wouldn't use spray cans though I've failed using these before terribly. 😊
I am painting a larger sheving unit made of MDF. I've got a acrylic sealing primer and acrylic paint but am planning to use a paint sprayer. If I need to thin out the primer or paint, I guess I would avoid water and use a paint thinner?
Hi mate if you are using acrylic paint then water is perfect for thinning.
@@karlpopewoodcraft thanks for the reply. Even if I'm unsure if the mdf is water resistant?
Wheres that sanding block with the blue handle from Karl? Cheers
Hi mate ill add it to my website tonight mate and let you know. 😊
Where are the products that you used in your video description? So?
Hi Luis I normally have a link to my website for these however the site is currently undergoing works and should be back available next week.
Have you used gloss enamel paint on MDF, I will need to paint some items for young kids to use?
Hi Mike no I haven't unfortunately, I know eggshell works great but that's all I've used really, oh and spray cans but they where terrible on mdf edges for me.
I have always found painting the MDF edges requires at least 6 light coats of paint consisting of primer, undercoat and the final paint finish. I have even tried MDF sealer before painting the edges, which being water based has caused the edges to swell. I think in future, as you have suggested I will use MR MDF. Is MR MDF much more expensive than just normal MDF? Don’t think I have seen MR MDF in B&Q where I normally by 8x4fft sheets. I really enjoy your content as you keep it pretty simple, and the end result is to a high standard, without the need for really expensive equipment.
Firstly thank you Richard I really appreciate your feedback. Well I pay £35 for a sheet of 18mm MRMDF and the regular brown mdf is £25 so definitely more expensive but 100% worth it in my opinion, time saved on preparation, painting sanding ext. You will need to purchase it from your local wood yard where the tradesmen go not the DIY shops. Hope this helps Richard 😊
Hi Karl - whereabouts do you buy your MRMDF. I live local to you in Beverley but struggling to find a good quality board.
Hi Trevor I use NR burnetts on Sutton fields, there brilliant very friendly and delivery is only £10 to Beverley. I'll send you a link to the website."N.R. Burnett Timber Specialists - Trade & Public, Hull, Yorkshire" www.nrburnett.co.uk
Thanks Karl
@@trevorblake6302 no worries mate.
Hiya dude nice video again when the whether gets a bit better I’ll invite you down to mine and see how I finish the stuff
Definitely Terry, I need to see that and it will be nice to have a catch up and a brew😊
Can we repaint that a few times ?
Ye sure.
That unit looks the bomb Karl. Just a quick question though, what can I trade my brownie points in for 🤣
Cheers Liam, errrr a packet of beef and onion and half a larger 😂🍺🐄🥩
@@karlpopewoodcraft now that's living
@@liammiller3395 i know i only wish I could pop for a pint and a packet of crisps😢
Nice tips, i hate mdf. My edges never look great
Cheers David, follow these tips and you will have success 😉😊
