*MDF used instead of Plywood for Prototyping.(cost-wise, sheets are cheaper and faster in routing).
*Choosing Paint as a finish for the whole surface wasn't the wisest choice, while it gives a better control over color and texture, sanding is going to take alot of time, patience....and money!!!
next object think i'll go for ordinary laminated sheets/edgebanding....let's see.
