Good idea to seal something as porous as MDF one way or the other Beth, thanks.
Sorry for repeating myself, anybody out there wish they could find a dependable polymer plate supplier? Please contact me, let's pool our resources. Thank you.

Trying to remember...I think we just painted on some sort of deck sealant or something like that.

Thanks for that input Beth. I did consider combining a few layers of acrylic together, but I like the idea of combining with MDF, probably safer to lock up in a platen press chase too! When you say sealed MDF, do you mean the high-density RANGER stuff?

We built our own bases at Emily Carr from 1/4" plexi contact cemented to sealed mdf. So far they work well. Cheaper too.
