Hello there, a bit of a beginners question I'm afraid
I've just ordered sheets of 19mm oak veneered MDF to make the interiors
of a built-in wardrobe.
can you please advise on what is best finish to use ?
I looked in the local B&Q (UK Based) and there was a lot of choice ,
wax, beeswax, varnish, oil, stain.... Colron & ROnseal were the main
makes
I would like a smooth finish so as not to mark / snag the clothes
Many thanks
Adrian

Since it's a wardrobe interior, you also probably don't want to wait
weeks/months for the finish odor to stop clinging to your clothes.
My choice in that instance is always the same: good, old fashioned, shellac.
Forgiving to apply, easy to repair, environmentally friendly, and should be
free of any odor in a much shorter time period.
