So...mdf cabinets and the elements...
« on: June 12, 2006, 12:06:04 am »
Ok, so I may finally get to start on my first cabinet now that I have a place to work on it, but I'm kind of worried about what condition it's going to be in after storing it at my uncle's for a year. We wrapped it (fairly loosely I'm afraid) in plastic, put it on a wooden pallet, and put it in his garage/carport thing. It has stone walls around three sides, but is still open, so it's a combination of the two you see. Anyway, I know that no water has come into direct contact with it, but I'm afraid that the wood might have warped just from being outside.

Your thoughts?

Shame on you for not visiting your uncle or your cabinet for a year.  If it hasn't had water on it it should be fine, but if the pallet has soaked up any water on the ground making that damp, then this could be transfered to the bottom of the cab if it's in contact.  You might find some minor moisture marks but I can't see it being warped.

MDF + moisture = bad. Get over there and check it out! And say hi to your uncle.

Good luck!
