Waste wood? Dude it's like $25 for a SHEET of it

It doesn't seem hard to me. You need a table saw and make sure you set your depth and spacing correct. Once you make the cuts you just apply the clamps and bend(or just straight up mount it). Most people I see will apply a coat of FG resin afterwards. Their's ton's of writeups about it....

I bought the hammered texture from krylon, i think i'm ust going to return it for some cheaper cans of flat black... FBI, you sure you used flat black? Looks kinda glossy...

[on1wheel01 10+ year member]

Ok i remember i read it somewhere at sealing edge cuts of the mdf, so it wont soak up so much pain. I was 50/50 wood glue and water. i am right i tried searching but no luck

Sanding with a very high grit also help to stop the sponge effect of the cuts.

A couple more coats of primer and sanding with fine grit and this box will be ready for the black piano finish.

^^^nice.....is that a 1/2" roundover bit you used?

 

[BluePoint 10+ year member]

yeah 1/2" inch round over. I need to get a 3/4" but they are expensive. This will be my first attempt at a mirror piano black finish. I will post pics of the final product.

First coats of black for the piano black high gloss finish
