Default Getting Started

I have pulled everything out of the boxes..
Looks daunting but the instructions appear really straightforward.
Then i put it all back into the boxes awaiting time to do the dry build,
Im sure this will give me the feel of the house and the way forward.
Til then i have to collect some bits and bobs to start it.

How do you seal the MDF.it says PVA/water or MDF sealant..

Would the MDF sealant be the same as MDF primer as i have got a tin of that here its white in colour..My Hubby uses it for his train track boards. But im sure he wouldnt notice if a large chunk disappeared.

Eager to start it now but dont want to make any mistakes on the first rung..

MDF primer is fine - just paint it on.

Hi I just used PVA/water 50 50. Makes it easier to paint over being sealed

If hubby already has primer then prime away, wont cost you a thing and means you can soon start on the house.
