but MDF is not a good idea especially in a trunk because it will swell like crazy with any moisture.
i plan to give it a few coats of lacquer before wrapping them. i just need to make sure there wont be any issues between the lacquer and the glue. any other better sealers? poly? i can shoot a pre or post cat lacquer if that helps.

in the kitchen i built i actually used mdf centers in the raised panel doors. ive found them to be much more stable than the maple, but they are sealed with conversion varnish. we're only a couple miles from the beach and get the marine layer most nights. with the windows open, theres never been a problem. but this stuff will swell HUGE with moisture if not sealed.
