[QUOTE="SicAudio, post: 6575851, member: 609136"] pv i do agree for the most part but mdf is not wood bro, it is medium density fiber board, aka paper and waste wood, both work exceptionally well and while titebond is better it isnt by that much for MDF since MDF is chemically and pressure bonded to begin with, it is a hunk of waste materials and chemical glue pressed into a sheet basically, if we were talking birch or hardwood id would wanna slap anyone that thought LN is better or even useable but it works great for mdf. Medium density fiberboard, or MDF, is a composite wood product similar to particleboard. It's made out of wood waste fibers glued together with resin, heat, and pressure. MDF is appropriate for many applications, from cabinetry to moulding, because it is smooth, uniform, and won't warp. Builders use MDF in many capacities, such as in furniture, shelving, laminate flooring, decorative moulding, and doors. They value MDF for its insular qualities in sound and heat. Also, it can be nailed, glued, screwed, stapled, or attached with dowels, making it as versatile as plank wood. Usually, people working with MDF use a carbide saw fitted with a vacuum to reduce the amount of airborne dust. Since MDF is strengthened with [COLOR=RoyalBlue]resin containing formaldehyde[/COLOR], those at exposure try to reduce their risk of inhalation, or use special MDF with lower formaldehyde levels. Medium-density fibreboard (MDF) is an engineered wood product formed by breaking down hardwood or softwood residuals into wood fibres, often in a defibrator, combining it with wax and a resin binder, and forming panels by applying high temperature and pressure.[1] MDF is much stronger and denser than plywood. It is made up of separated fibers, (not wood veneers) but can be used as a building material similar in application to plywood. It is much more dense than normal particle board. and this last one is why i also agree with you as well but disagree to a small degree too kind of a catch 22 ya know? Q: What kinds of glues can I use with MDF? A: Good glues to use are gap-filling glues such as polyvinyl acetate (PVA) typically known as yellow glue, modified PVA glues like Titebond II or white glues. [COLOR=royalblue]Epoxy, urea [/COLOR]and hot melt glues may also be used. the good LN is pva or epoxy based the lower end stuff is resin and or toluene based no disrespect intended so dont get me wrong, because we both know how much respect I do have for you. but while LN is not ideal it is an acceptable glue to use. titebond II is still better tho lolz i always use it hell it is 16$ a gallon lolz [/QUOTE]
