nice1, how much are we talking about for a sheet of that then?

[flash22]

8 x 4 sheets ar £12-14 and use the instore cutting service (saves messing about) the first 2 cuts are free (40-50p a cut there after but you can bluff it sometimes and get cut for free)

the last box i made cost £20 (3-4 cubic foot) inc cuts. i got it all cut to size at b&q brought it home screwed (allways pilot drill the screw holes first) and glued it together job done

false floors. I have moved over to using birch ply (12 and 18mm) it not cheap tho but its lighter and doesn\'t blow like mdf can

flash22, what do you mean by the mdf blowing?

[flash22]

If mdf gets damp/wet it tends to blow apart or go fluffy. you can seal it with so watered down pva wood glue
