I am in the process of constructing three 4 Pi speakers out of 3/4" MDF (with a 1 1/2" front baffle - depth adjusted to account for internal volume decrease).
I am moving soon to a very HOT and HUMID environment (Cambodia) and understand that MDF is moisture sensitive. Therefore, I plan to seal the enclosures inside and out with two or three coats of Zinsser BIN primer/sealer to help with moisture resistance and to harden the enclosure. I will be covering with paper-backed red oak veneer via the hot iron method.
Will the BIN primer/sealer cause any problems with applying the veneer? I will be using Better Bond Heat-Lock Veneer glue.
Thanks,
