Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering properly
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease before painting. Lightly sand the primed surface if it feels too smooth, and use a primer specifically designed for MDF if needed.
Board bowing or warping
This is uncommon with this moisture-resistant MDF. Ensure the board is adequately fixed to the wall at regular intervals and that ambient moisture levels are not excessively high. Proper sealing with paint is crucial.
Visible joins between boards
Use a fine-toothed saw for precise cuts. Apply a suitable wood filler or caulk to fill any small gaps, then sand smooth before painting for a seamless finish.
