Preparing an MDF Carving for paint

[Underdog]

Thanks for the heads up.. I was planning to use a paint mask anyway, but this is good advice. I did a little more research on this, and apparently it is ethyl alcohol with the denaturing agent (toxin or bittering agent) added. In the case of a methanol denaturing agent, it can cause blindness and death. http://chemistry.about.com/od/chemic...ed-Alcohol.htm

I wonder if Zinsser provides this information?

If they sell it, you can ask for a MSDS sheet. Its the law.

Type of MDF carvings.
Is it a noticeable difference going from normal to best or optimal? It sure is in hardwood, but not much difference when going to Optimal from best in very soft wood.

Anyone with experience in trying different MDF carve types?

I didn't notice an appreciable difference between best and normal on some recent carves in MDF. I created a sign and did one on "normal" with some v-carving around the edges of the lettering and border (took 3 hours) and then ran that same sign on "best" with only a raster carve (was still 3 hours). They look virtually the same as far as quality goes.
