Had a MDF desk built a few years ago, over that time it's got stained by drink spills etc as I've never painted it.
Last week I decided to paint it so treated it with MDF primer, painted it a nice colour and then read I needed to apply a protective layer as the paint wouldn't last.
This site says to use Polycrylic but it's not for sale in the UK. I found a similar product in a DIY store but it came in a spray can, after applying it last night it's come out all blotchy with varying dull and shiny areas, no doubt my dodgy skills when it comes to DIY.
Currently I'm thinking I might just sand it back, repaint it and use a clear varnish.
Anyone got any experience with this kind of thing?
Thanks
