on a budget are we? join the club, Don't want to spring for 3/4 inch. Cant say I blame you. $50.00 a sheet here in KY. Think about finding a old empty arcade cab. You say it's to get your feet wet (so to speak, not your words but same meaning) Look around, you can find them for free to $25.00 all day long . Bolt in some 2x4s place a board on the 2x4s as a shelf and wedge in a 19 inch monitor. I have bought 3 of ebay in the last few months. All under $50.00 ( :police:stay away from the one in Louisville KY on ebay now that bad boy has my name all over it :police:) No shipping local pick up. do a search on ebay for 19" monitor , 100 miles from your zip code |

Slightly off topic, is it trrue that you should only use oil based paint on MDF? I've seen that mentioned on the boards before. I know that water and MDF don't mix well, bu I wouldn't think that would apply to paint. Or does oil based paint just give a better finish? |
