Hello. Apologies in advance if it seems like a stupid question but here it goes.
I built a new extension table for my cabinet saw using mdf for top on oak frame. After it was done I put on my straightedge and noticed a bit more than 1/32" of raised area in the center. I know that sanding or planing will ruin the smooth surface on MDF but since I want to laminate the top (formica) Im not too worried about fuzzy surface. So is there a way to flatten the top?
- Also can previously sealed MDF (with poly, etc.) be laminated?
-what do you recommend for sealing MDF?
-Finally, I screwed and glued the frame to MDF from under in order to keep the top without holes but since screws catch hardwood much better, could I screw from the top and fill the countersunk screw holes smooth before applying formica and if so what do you use as filler ( bondo?) ?
Thank you
