Painting stage - cleaning dust from the wood
s_busby_uk:
What's the best way to get rid of sawdust etc from an MDF cabinet prior to painting? I mean the stuff that seems to cling to it like dust to static. I've heard it's not a great idea to get MDF wet, but it seems to me some sort of damp rag would be the most effective solution. What do people recommend?

In shop class we used a horse hair brush. But we didn't use MDF

Yeah I have a fairly effective brush, but MDF dust is so fine that much of the swept dust just goes back into the air it seems.

Dryer sheets?
Perhaps you need to capture the sawdust during the cut more efficiently.
