Does anyone have pointers on making things stick to MDF? The edges of the art on my MDF cab are coming up. |

Did you paint it first? |

If you are covering the entire side with a decal, perhaps some varnish, or some inexpensive semi-gloss or gloss paint first. It doesn't need to be pretty, but make sure it smooth and clean before you try to apply a decal. RandyT |

I remember the fumes take a while to go away after the paint is dry. I think I read something saying to wait 3 or 4 days AFTER the paint dries but it may have been a full week. There are still fumes coming even when the paint is dry, which causes it to bubble and peal off if not waiting a while after the paint is dry. I'm sure that's not the most tech-y explaination, but you get what I'm saying. |

This is a good question, as I will be in the same situation very soon. |
