MDF is very absorbent and some poorer quality boards can sometimes develop a slightly textured surface after paint application. This is caused by the fibres expanding, especially when waterbased products are used. This is not normally much of a concern with scenic items and MDF is often just rolled with waterbased paints with no problem at all. However, try not to soak the boards too much and encourage good drying conditions by working in a well heated and ventilated workshop. Rapid drying will help to prevent the fibres from swelling. If your work includes detailed joints or is to receive a high gloss finish then a coat of shellac or a specialised fast drying MDF Primer should be used prior to painting.
