Do I need to fill these with MinWax wood filler (2 part) or will my two primer coats fill this gap? Also, on a test board I painted up to check the top coat color, the MDF must have had a scratch on it that I did not see before it was finished... but it telegraphed through the top coat. I had not primed it, since I was only testing the top coat color... would the primer coats have eliminated this also, or do I need to fill and sand any scratches in the mdf?
