Never would have thought of this. I always used rust-oleum lacquer rattle can and do heavy coats, don’t even have to sand your piece then as long as the side your spraying is laying face up. But the edges are still thirsty doing it this way so I appreciate this video

I'm doing a job with 180 individual letters that I cut on my CNC in MDF....Your video and the one and only can of Zinners Shellac I could find at Home Depot(Canada) saved my life!!

Just 2 years later and the price of that can has nearly doubled. Still glad I found this, though, because I've always used their shellac primer. It's amazing for MDF, and other tough-to-paint stuff like particle board and laminate (think cheap furniture). But that shellac primer is like $70 a gallon now, so $26 for this, while not $13, is way better! The sanding sealer in your other video, interestingly enough, is cheaper at my store, so I'll probably go that route for now.

God damn.... the way you say Shellac is hypnotic 🤣🤣 you get my like just for that!

I use water and wood glue 50/50 and it works pretty well. It only takes 1 coat with a foam brush and dries quickly and then a quick sand. I originally put it on the edges but where I got it on the top you could see a difference in sheen so I just started putting it on the top. I think the water helps pull the glue in and makes it a little more durable. I normally use kilz odorless spray and then you can topcoat with about anything. I like the kilz oil based odorless but the spray cans drip which is very annoying.

Oil based primer+sealer in one works just fine on MDF too. Water based won't work as well because it will soak in and cause swelling, but the oil based works just fine.

I use sanding sealer. I always get a specific Brand. I ONLY use Old Masters, which is kind of hard to find around my area. But it works AWESOME! A nice even coat. Sand with 400 grit lightly until smooth then apply a 2nd coat. Sand with 800., Then apply top coat. That's just my method. I've had GREAT results on numerous Subwoofer box & amp rack projects.

You need an NDF or neutral density filter for your camera. It cuts down

Shellactastic video TRZ😁. Nice to have options for painting MDF

[@mikefromwa]

I've used Elmer's glue for years to get a pretty nice finish on mdf. I brush on a decent coat or two, then sand it after letting it dry for a full 24 hours. It'll give you a glossy finish as smooth as plastic when you spray paint it. I've also seen really good results with spreading a super thin coat of Bondo on MDF, then sanding it.

Oh yea!!! I use shellac as a base for almost anything i make

[@vivianhudacek1556]

Any suggestions for a couple of bathroom & kitchen cabinet doors that are MDF covered in that glossy white laminate? There are places where water has dripped onto them, causing peeling & bubbling out of the MDF. Thanks for any ideas you might have.

Omg that Is the new Cstch Fraze now Shellac Attack Booooom Clint @ToolReviewZone

[@bradleymasson1777]

One trick to doing the edges is to sand them to 320 grit, this greatly decreases the amount of paint or primer that is absorbed. I don't think that I've tried shellac on msg but it should work.

[@josephromero1596]

What finish would u use over the paint? For like work bench or extension wing for table saw??

[@bluemantom77]

I made the same mistake with mdf years ago put up so shelves in my bathroom after what I sprayed it with a weatherproof sealant sucked it up like a like a sponge same issue no I didn't have the same issue for plywood I treated a shelf I have in my dining room I put my bonsai plant on it's holding up fine

[@junballs6576]

Could you use these method on high grade pine wood?

[@ITSMXZE]

Can you spray over shellac or sanding sealer with cellulose based paint? (Thinners)

[@sherrim6426]

Can I use shellac on chipboard

[@germanmarcano5510]

First I want to thank you for your great videos, for me have been very usefull!! I want to ask you a question: when I remove the masking tape from the painted mdf I notice sometime like a masking glue residue over the paint how do you remove that without damage the paint?
