![]() MDF reacts very poorly to a high moister environment...........it needs to be sealed with a special sealer, then primed, then painted or it will just swell and blow apart.....personally I would use plywood(coming from a carpenter who has made his fair share of tank stands)

![]() I agree with not using MDF either. Tends to bloat when wet and will not shrink back to the original dimensions after it dries. It will also lose its structural integrity.
Looking really good so far! |

![]() Thanks guys, I have already bought 3/4" plywood to replace it, and have found another gallon of marine paint. I'll change this out. I have phoned and got my glass moved to Tuesday so I will not be in a rush to get the new top on.
Geez Doug, next time say something sooner!

![]() Ya, It was a close call, but I just phoned it in and told them to postpone my glass until Tuesday. Thanks, may have saved me a head ache sometime down the road.
