Making my own MDF billet

lessons learned

So I constructed a box out of painted MDF and drilled small holes in the bottom for the water to drain out of. Then filled the vessel with sawdust. There after I soaked the sawdust in a diluted pva and water solution. Once the sawdust resembled a thick paste I put the lid on and begun to compress out the excess water. once I had drained out as much water as possible I left it in a warm closet to dry. Then it went moldy. Over a period of weeks it has gradually dried and the mould subsided. in my next attempt I will bike the block at a low temperature to dry it out and kill any fungus or bacteria.
