Title: Prep for Contact Paper on MDF
Post by: Infernarl on April 09, 2009, 06:04:16 am

I want to apply wood grain contact paper or laminate to MDF. Should I prime it first? Or something?

My CP is currently covered with contact paper. I don't recommend it. It really doesn't stick that well over time. I'd paint or use an overlay.
