Troubleshooting
Board does not cut cleanly
Ensure you are using a sharp fine-toothed saw and support the board adequately during cutting to prevent chipping.
Primed surface is uneven
Lightly sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper and wipe clean before painting.
Adhesive is not holding the board
Ensure the wall surface is free of dust and moisture. Use an appropriate adhesive for MDF and allow adequate drying time.
