How to seal mdf edges?

Make sure to wear a respirator if you're using BIN. You also need to change the cartridges quite often when using it as well.

Can I ask why?  Maybe I need to clarify but this is BIN shellac, not oil based.

If I was in a small room I could see that helping but I didn't think that the denatured alcohol was too harmful.  I keep things ventilated and never felt dizzy but that is just me.

If there are specific reasons, please share as I don't want to put myself at risk.

Cheers. Bryan.

I'm not in a position to answer your question directly, but I thought taking a look at this link to the BIN safety sheets might be helpful.

Thanks Mike. I took a look through some of the sheets and for the gallon size and rolled or brushed it doesn't seem so bad. Like I said, I generally work in a large open, well ventilated area so for me a respirator seems unnecessary but I agree anything with fumes should be handled accordingly.

I can see if you were spraying either with HVLP or aerosol that things would be different.

Hi Jimmy
Thanks for the heads up, but the projects I'm making are all rounded surfaces no flat edges, so probably great for bookcases etc, may not be the right product for this. I've no idea if its available down here in hobbit country but if I need any for future I'll check it out. cheers
So far the zinsser product is working well and easy to apply with a good result.

O yea you did mention that in your first post,  I should have read it all really  [blink]

Good to hear the zinsser is working for you. I also use it for the odd job and it works a treat.
