Title: Best material to build with? Laminated MDF?
Post by: Hawk75 on July 25, 2017, 07:31:52 pm

Lowes has white laminated MDF for around $35 a piece. My goal is to build a midway reunion cabinet. so it will have to be painted black at some point, the black MDF is like $60 a piece. Unlaminated is $25 a peice, I'm just not sure if I can paint it to be slick like that or not. What would you guys recommend for the best wood material to use?

If you can get it, laminated plywood.  I've used it for some customers, and it's the bomb.   :cheers:
