I (plan to) put MatchFit tracks on everything. I was thinking of using MatchFit clamps instead of hold-downs, but you can't turn them to hold something that's not on the track. I'm vaguely considering making some adapters that lock into a MatchFit slot and have a short piece of T-Track on top. -
Xtract is a game changer. I do 1/2 the sanding I used to before I switched. -
If this is for the MatchFit clamp system MDF has performed well for me. The opposing force is always (or should be) backed up by the item being clamped; therefor, no pullout issue. Not so for unsupported hold down applications. For this sort of application . . . . . . I prefer t-tracks. Even quality plywood will de-laminate at the most inappropriate time under these stresses in my unfortunate experience . -

I'm watching this with interest. I always figured MDF would not perform well with dovetails, but if you prove that assumption wrong,the door is wide open to all sorts of jigs and fixtures. -
A couple of months past two years from when I started this thread: I was over there with new renters coming in and remembered to take this picture. At first I thought the doors had started to deteriorate some, but it was just dirt on the little horizontal surfaces near the bottom. They look like I just sprayed them. I'm very pleased with the products I used for this finish. Looking at the earlier pictures, if anything the wood color underneath has evened out some, but I have no idea why. I do remember there being more of a variation than they have now. Looking back through this thread I see that I said we were hoping to rent it in the Summer of that year, 2022. There ended up being too much stuff to fix, and first renters weren't in until Christmas of that year. Summer of 2023 could be considered a success, and 2024 is going much better than we ever expected, being booked solid from the first part of March. I still have one more fiberglass bathtub to replace in it, but it might be Winter after next before I get to that.
