Hi, I have a couple of questions about installing MDF wall panelling.
Firstly, a bit of research suggests that I'll be best using a combination of adhesive and screws to fix them to the wall. The wall is bare plaster though, and I understand that grab adhesives don't stick well to bare plaster. Would a grab adhesive be ok on the plaster if I do a mist-coat of watered-down emulsion first?
Secondly, I'm using strips of MDF to create the illusion of large panels. For this reason, the wall and MDF both have to be painted the same - but I don't understand how that's possible when I need emulsion for the wall but you're not supposed to use emulsion on MDF?!
Thanks in advance for any advice!
