About 6 months ago i created a MDF spoil board for my Shark. It worked great, but I recently found that the coplanar surface that I had milled had warped. It was out by 0.014". It gave me a V-Carve headache! I am creating a new MDF spoil board. Once I grind it flat would it help prolong the the useful life of the spoil board by sealing it with some sort of a finish and if so what do you recommend?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Re: MDF Spoil Board Question
I use mine without issue unfinished. About once a month I resurface the board due to moisture or whatever.
Re: MDF Spoil Board Question
Perhaps some sort of a sealer would keep the MDF stable for a longer period of time. I live in Dayton, OH and i had assumed that our high humidity had caused some swelling of the MDF. I know that removing the hard top layer of the MDF exposes a softer material that I assume is more absorbent. Without knowing what sealant to use I'll live with the current situation.
