I just used mdf as wainscoting in the dining room. I primed it with oil based primer and used a semi-gloss paint, but now it looks bumpy like an orange peel. What can we do? Byanon443— On Apr 25, 2007 Does MDF used as interior moulding need to be primed before painting?
MDF can’t be stained. Not only does it soak up stain like a sponge, but also because there’s no wood grain on MDF, it looks awful when it’s stained. (Kind of like staining particle board. Why would you bother?) MDF contains VOCs (urea-formaldehyde). Off gassing can be great...

It really does make a world of difference when painting. One thing to remember when you are painting something with oil-based paint that’s bigger in scale is to work in sections. You can’t easily go back over places to touch them up after you’ve already put one coat of paint on....
We preferred them around 15cm from the back wall, but they sounded pretty balanced tonally even well out into the room. The tweeter’s dispersion characteristics mean that exact toe-in angle isn’t critical; they just render a wide and cohesive stereo image without much effort. Performance ...
That app looks nice, is well laid out and easy to use. It controls the streaming (DLNA as well as Tidal) functionality and allows plenty of scope to fine-tune the speaker’s performance in a given environment. There is room for improvement, though. It’s a little glitchy and feels unr...
