[QUOTE="pwatts, post: 1050856, member: 146"] Love the paint! Almost reminds me of some older REL subs that was called "black grittex". Should also help hide the nasty 'MDF line creep' should it happen.. in past experiences, no matter how smooth and wonderful the joint is, moisture (both trapped and absorbed) makes the wood expand long after assembly and hence the line, and hence why wooden doors get stuck in winter and open fine in summer despite heavy coats of varnish and being decades old. Others here have more experience but IMO using different types of glue, less absorbent timber than MDF and different assembly styles (like 45degree joints) is the only real solution so really curious & crossing fingers for this method to retain its lovely smooth surface :) [/QUOTE]
