  • The window sills in our office and main bedroom are currently tiled in a fetching lilac. It's something I decided I'd put right myself and asked the builder to leave (might as well spend money on tasks that were simply too big!).

    I have a 2400mm window board (MDF), which I'll cut down into 2no. ~1100mm individual boards, and I plan to adhere them to the tiles using Sticks Like Shit Turbo. So leaving the tiles in place, in order to avoid damaging any new plaster (or indeed the window frames) in any removal efforts.

    I have read that using a new, metal hacksaw blade is the best bet for straight, clean cuts on MDF. And I plan to cut slightly over length and sand back as required. I'm realistic to accept that some caulking will be required.

    Can anyone see any pitfalls with this?

  • One small point, and I’m sure someone else can confirm, you need a mask to sand mdf. I suspect the dust is dangerous. Please wait for further confirmation of that.
