    Has anybody got any good tips on finishing the edge of MDF. It seems to take forever to get a reasonable finish, there must be an easier way.

    Cheers,
    Simon.

    normal wood glue rubbed into the porous end, wait to it dries and give it a good sanding, works every time,

    If you water down some pva (wood glue) you can just brush it all over to seal.
