Sobre "MDF"

Sempre tive a curiosidade de saber o que significa MDF, a madeira que utilizo para fazer meus trabalhos, e me deparei com o  site http://www.internationalwoodsuppliers.com/  e tudo ficou esclarecido.

Informações sobre MDF:

"Medium Density Fibreboard (MDF) is a wood based composite material that draws on the usage of wood fibres, rather than particles or veneers to produce board or sheet products. It is replacing the use of particleboard in uses such as furniture manufacture, cabinet making, joinery, craft work and flooring. Its advantages include high strengths, ease of machining, good weathering properties, and the ability to be made from a wide variety of fibrous products. "

DÉCOUPAGE

NÃO SOU MUITO FÃ DESTA TÉCNICA, MAS FAÇO EM ALGUMAS PEÇAS QUANDO NECESSÁRIO.

SEGUE A DEFINIÇÃO EM INGLÊS DE "DÉCOUPAGE":

Decoupage (or découpage) is the art of decorating an object by gluing colored paper cut outs onto it in combination with special paint effects, gold leaf, etc.
Commonly an object like a small box or an item of furniture is covered by cutouts from magazines or from purpose-manufactured papers.
Each layer is sealed with varnishes (often multiple coats) until the "stuck on" appearance disappears and the result looks like painting or inlay work.
The traditional technique used 30-40 layers of varnish which were then sanded to a polished finish.
This was known in 18th century England as The Art of Japanning after its presumed origins.
There are many varieties on the traditional technique involving purpose made 'glue' requiring fewer layers (often 5 or 20, depending on the amount of paper involved).
