It's just a shame tricoya is so expensive. Last time I used it,it was around £130 for 18mm ! Incredibly awesome stuff though.stu wrote:Solid gives the best finish, and at that size you should be ok with movement. Tricoya is the best product, super stable but would take a bit of prep to get a good finish on the cut faces. Wouldn't use MR MDF, haven't used Exterior.

Tricoya sheet cause it's painted I've heard mixed things about accoya. I bought a piece to put paint and varnish samples on.stu wrote:Tricoya, but not accoya? I always use accoya these days for painted work. It's expensive, but waste is low and you don't get call backs in the winter!

Yeah, you need to buy in larger sections of you are staining it. It does look good though with a clear lacquer, sort of creamy!?!?Coley wrote:Tricoya sheet cause it's painted I've heard mixed things about accoya.

Just as well it's only a sample piece. It'd look awful if it was stained - stripey zebra springs to mind
