The premixed or the powdered?
I like the powdered because once set adding water top coats won't bother it.
I'm half done with the first coat + sanding, and I'm glad I filled before painting. If I'd have painted, I'd sand it back and fill it is so bad.

It was the powdered. I keep a small bag of the 90 minute cure here

Yep, that stuff works perfectly.
It would take me eons to go through a bag though.
Well maybe if MDF is going to fall apart from now on, maybe not.

I tried that too. I found that the grain filler was easier to apply and sanded just as easily as the mud.

Yea. These are the smaller bags, 18 #'s. Bought them to finish the upstairs drywall, and to patch some holes.
One of our grandson's decided he was the Incredible Hulk there at one point, and figured out he could punch through a wall, until he found a wall stud. That stopped that nonsense.

Is there a brand or something that you can point us to?

I will have to go into Home Depot and see what it is. I don't think I have any in my basement. I will check tonight.

Well don’t make a special trip.
I’ve got it covered this time around.

Last sheet I painted for a friend had tiny pits everywhere in it despite 2 coats of BIN primer and 2 coats of Advance enamel. It was lighter in color than I remembered MDF typically being.
