MDF- HELP

[Jezmaster]

hi, is it possilable to stain or oil, like danish oil, on to mdf, as i do not want to paint it?

Yes , but I recconmend a sanding down with a fine paper - 240 or 280 grade, just to "break open" the surface.As sometimes after the manufacturer has pressed the surface, it takes stains unevenly.
Danish oil is no problem as I have used it to " water proof " sheets in the past.
