[Usittne] consulting Delphi

[Devlin, John]

Greetings-
I'm looking to resurface my stage.  Many years ago in Milwaukee I used a product called Duron-tempered all the way through hardboard.  Not having much luck finding that now in Northern Vermont, though I was happy with it.  Last time I used 1/8" tempered Masonite because that's what I could afford...and it lasted about as you'd expect in higher traffic areas.  I'm considering ¼" MDF because it's cheaper than ¼" Masonite and may well be more stable particularly in the summer when the stage gets the hardest use.

Any serious downsides or red flags to the MDF?  There will be custom cutting around the edges of the stage and milling for screws, but I will have very good ventilation and masks will be worn.

Thanks in advance.
John
